Biography:
Sam Airey is a musician who originates from the Isle of Anglesey, now residing in the city of Leeds, West Yorkshire. He writes songs, and quite often these songs are about the seaside and/or death, but never exclusively these things.
Raised in rural North Wales on various types of folk and country music, Sam blends these influences with the sounds and experiences he has encountered along the way. He plays a variety of instruments, but is sometimes joined by friends, both in studios and on stages.

[C Csus2 Am Csus2] x2
Verse 1:
C Csus2
The candles on the table lit you up,
Am Csus2
And I wondered if we'd done enough.
C Csus2
The blackout came to slow down everyone
Am Csus2
And it spoke to us, said "you've had your fun".
Verse 2:
C Csus2
The autumn in your eyes, it lit me up.
Am Csus2
I was a fallen leaf, you were a firework.
C Csus2
When winter came, I tried to keep us warm
Am Csus2
At least warmer than... than we'd been before.
Chorus:
F C Csus2 F C Csus2
On our way back home, on our way back home.
F C Csus2 F C Csus2
On our way back home, on our way back home.
Verse 3:
C Csus2
I pulled you close to me and soon forgot
Am Csus2
About those heavy hearts, about those other ones.
C Csus2
The blackout came to slow down everything
Am Csus2
That we'd come to know, we still had songs to sing.
Chorus:
F C Csus2 F C Csus2
On our way back home, on our way back home.
F C Csus2 F C Csus2
On our way back home, on our way back home.
Outro:
C Csus2
The candles on the table lit you up,
Am Csus2
And I wondered if we'd done enough.
