about

So pleased to have Rod MacVey on Piano (reworked from my guitar part) and then Colin Steele on Trumpet. The starting point was what would happen if Alexandra didn't leave..or at least if there was a bit of dubiety about it.

lyrics

Alexandra staying

Alexandra’s staying
They’re not going to leave
I saw them this morning
When I took round the keys
We talked of the weather
The warmth in the breeze
A thin veil of satin
Which sings in the trees

Alexandra’s staying
There’s nowhere to go
They went down to the river
The river said no
I don’t last forever
My water is low
Best not abandon
The home that you know

Alexandra’s staying
Despite saying goodbye
We can visit them later
With our voices and wine
I left the door open
For those wanting to pry
Hello Alexandra
Is that you waiting inside

Alexandra is staying
They’re not going to leave
I heard her calling
So I went round to see
I sat in the garden
Then walked to the trees
That’s where I found
His voice in the breeze
