robert’s place - original song

thank you all for the overwhelming support on this song over on tiktok where I’m writing a song every day! here’s the full song with the extra verse I wrote, and I’m working on something including this song for streaming platforms which will be up before the end of the year! all my love.


lyrics:

well I’m going down to robert’s place, it’s just a block away, haven’t seen him in a real long time
and I think I’ll take some flowers and a couple extra hours to tell him all about my little life

well I’m going down to robert’s place, it’s there beneath the tree, I don’t know if he will recognize
my face, it’s gotten older, and I’ve got more on my shoulders, but I still hold on to his pretty eyes

and I know, yes I know he won’t hear me, he’s just bones, but it makes me feel much better to know he might care at all
and I see, yes I see that he’s six feet under me, but sometimes I hope he is down the hall

well I’m going down to robert’s place, it’s more than overgrown, but I swear I’ll make it look real nice
with just a little weeding and a sprinkle of grass seeds and flowers in the colors that he likes

well I’m going down to robert’s place with my favorite guitar, and I’ll play him all the songs I wrote last week
and he might not sing along and it might just take too long, but he knows how to make a boy feel seen

and I know, yes I know he won’t hear me, he’s just bones, but it makes me feel much better to know he might care at all
and I see, yes I see that he’s six feet under me, but sometimes I hope he is down the hall

well I went on down to robert’s place and I felt inner peace, the silence like a blanket over me
and I saw the little tree, for once without its pretty leaves, while I enjoyed my father’s company

well I went on down to robert’s place and I showed him this song and it about reduced me down to tears
and I sat, but not for long, because the chill brought winter on, but I want him to know that I’m still here

and I know, yes I know he won’t hear me, he’s just bones, but it makes me feel much better to know he might care at all
and I see, yes I see that he’s six feet under me, but sometimes I hope he is down the hall

someday I’ll go down to robert’s place because I’m passing through and it would be the proper thing to do
and I’ll tell him how I’ve grown and how I’m living on my own, I know I’ll get there someday, maybe soon
