6 WEEKS
Info
Writers: James Morrison, Martin Brammer & Steve Robson
Album: 
James played this song at a couple of showcases in European cities in June 2011, prior to his album release.
“6 Weeks is an important song to me, because it was the first song that I wrote after my dad had died. I’d been hiding away in my house for 6 weeks. I still wanted it to be a positive song about just hoping that he was allright and in a good place. I liked the fact that the lyrics 6 weeks just really nailed it. That whole 6 week period that I went through after he died was pretty terrible. I wanted to sum it up, without it being to down. I really like that about the approach we took to on this song. I’m really proud of the song, I really like it. It gives me a good feeling when I think about where my dad is.”
Lyrics
Six weeks since I let you go
And I still feel the same
Hard to believe that a feeling this strong
Will every really change
I hold my head up steady
Both hands heavy
Oh just like the sky
It’s so full of tears
Waiting to cry
Are you on your way
Have you finally found some place
You can call your own
You never had nobody
Have you found someone
Who makes you feel
Like you’re not alone
Yes you’re going home
Going home
You’re flying high like a Superman
Just like you’ve always dreamed of
Tell me now, are you finally free
From the troubles of life and love
I got your records playing
And I can hear you saying
This is where we belong
And I know I’ve got to carry on
Are you on your way
Have you finally found some place
You can call your own
You never had nobody
Have you found someone
Who makes you feel
Like you’re not alone
Yes you’re going home
Going home
All this time watching you
There was nothing I could do
I know your heart was crossed
All those times that I tried
Light the light in your eyes
I couldn’t see you were lost
Are you on your way
Have you finally found some place
You can call your own
Coz you never had nobody
Are you on your way
Have you finally found some place
You can call your own
Going home
Are you on your way
Yes you’re going home
Going home
Never had nobody, nobody
Have you found someone
Who makes you feel like you’re not alone
Yes you’re going home
Going hime
Six weeks since I let you go
And I still feel the same
