about

THis song was written to celebrate the life of Clive Gray who I met a few years back, and who was a great innovator and music man. If you ever make it to Cellardyke in Fife there's a bench that overlooks the Harbour. It's a great spot for a moments quiet contemplation, and admiration of the Clothes Lines. Oh and a big shout out to Mary Erskine (Me For Queen) who introduced me to Clive and who once again adds sparkle and delight.

lyrics

bones of birth

Say hello to the bones of birth
Breathe them in and cry
May pain and pleasure teach you when
To lie low and when to fly

Find your path with a playful dance
Make those moves your own
Search out songs that set you free
And bring comfort to your home

And when doubts rise up inside
Start to take control
See the world as it really is
Don’t let fear eat your soul

You can spread wings
I will take flight
We will sing songs
Into the morning light
