about

'Moments That Were Not' is the first single from the debut album 'Spaces Between Memories' due to release in early 2015.

lyrics

Whether your days have been many
or whether they've just been a few
they have been nothing but moments,
moments that lie within you

You dived as deep as you dared to
brought in the pearls you could bring
You weaved all those pearls into stories
Rosaries tied without string

Once there was something between them
among those lines that you wrote
but some of those words have gone silent
they were too quiet to note

Now nothing is holding together
those notes that have lessened to few
There is no past without present
no memories live without you

Where did you leave the voids,
the gaps that you forgot,
the spaces between memories,
the moments that were not?
