Abeyance is a song about returning what’s past.

Do the dead speak to us?  Can they hear our whispered incantations.  In the song Abeyance, I invite the hollowed stillness that thins what separates our time from all time so that what’s past can be present, what’s forgotten remembered, and what’s lost can still be loved.

Abeyance (Music and Lyrics by Sean Riley)

With candle, spell
And hands held tight
We call you to this room

With incense, bell
And spirits bright
We hail you from your tomb

How am I sure it’s you
Tell me something that’s true
I miss you

No more to tell
Farewells made right
I still smell perfume
