A Song For Everyone Who Stayed Behind | Coffee Ring

Coffee Ring — the closing track of DUST by The Last Green Mile. An acoustic folk song about a parent watching their child leave, and the quiet courage of staying. Some people leave. Some people stay. This is a song for the ones who stayed. A ring left on a kitchen table. A porch light nobody turns off. A garden that gets fuller every year someone is gone. The final track from DUST asks a quieter question than the ones before it: If love is measured by how far you'll go — what do we call the people who stay, and keep the light on? If one lyric stayed with you, share it in the comments — and tell me about someone you waved off, or someone who kept a light on for you. 🌍 THE DUST PROJECT Listen to more from The Last Green Mile:    / @thelastgreenmile   Track 1 — Stitched Horizons    • DUST — Music For Every Traveller Who Felt ...   Track 2 — Wi-Fi of the Sky    • WiFi OF THE SKY:"Every Dreamer Who NeverSt...   Track 3 — What the Soil Remembers [ADD LINK] Track 4 — Coffee Ring You are here.
