I'll hold you in my arms
I'll keep you safe from harm
You and your mother's hearts
Safely from the dark
Hold your hands in mine
Try to make you smile
Wipe your emerald eyes
Dry them when you cry
Harry my son
You are so young
To be born into a war when
We're on the frontline
At the first sign
Every battle
Could be our last fight
So I'll try to come home to you
To tuck you in and your teddy too
So every time you hear this tune
You'll know we're here
And we'll always be there for you
I'll teach you how to fly
Teach you wrong from right
Find some friends you like
Trust them with your life
Be brave in a fight
Hold your head up high
And I'll try not to cry
When your train arrives
Harry my son
You are so young
To be born into a war when
We're on the frontline
At the first sign
Every battle
Could be our last fight
So I'll try to come home to you
To tuck you in and your teddy too
So every time you hear this tune
You'll know we're here
And we'll always be there for you
Harry my son
You are so young
To be born into a war when
You're on the frontline
At the first sign
And this battle
Could be your last night
So it's time to come home to us
We'll see this through
And we’ll stay with you
Until the very end
You'll know we're here
And we've always been part of you
So we’ll see you soon
And you’ll fall asleep to this tune

The second EP from Northern Irish singer-songwriter Bea Stewart runs from gentle folk to pillowy pop ballads, all perfectly executed. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 15, 2024
This album is exactly what it says on the tin, because sad songs are Grace's speciality. But that doesn't mean it's lacking variety or range. Here are 11 songs about loss, frustration, helplessness, fear, judgement, insight, empathy and love. Listen to them again and again, because you will discover something new every time. yourwizardrockresource
