Story Behind The Song
as the war began on march 19th...
my guitar cried from the corner
and there was a song waiting...
this was 'say my name'.
i felt like i was channeling the feelings of a soul who had lost someone they loved dearly in the war... perhaps a woman whose son or husband was killed as a soldier... yet the memory and the feeling of that person stays with her and brings hope that all is not lost, that love is not futile...

verse 1:
i heard you
speak to me
with your eyes
i felt you
sing to me
a lullaby
a lullaby
and i know
everything
everything
is gonna be alright
chorus 1:
say my name
take me home again
before its over
i don't want to lose you again
just a touch
just a sign from you
a four-leaf clover
before its over again
verse 2:
you gave me
a piece of you
before you died
i'll save that
~peace~ inside
for all my life
and i'll know you're with me
standing by my side
and i'll know
everything
everything
is gonna be just fine
chorus 2:
say my name
take me home again
before its over
i don't want to lose you again
just a touch
just a twist of fate
a four-leaf clover
before its over again
bridge:
i'll save that
peace inside
for all my life
for all my life
for all my life...
take me home
take me home
take me home
take me home...
end chorus:
say my name
take me home again
before its over
i don't want to lose you again
just a touch
just a sign from you
a four-leaf clover
before its over again
say my name
take me home
darling please
I don't want to lose you again
just a touch
I don't want to lose you
I don't want to lose you again
