Story Behind The Song

Entered for the 2013 UK son writing competition.

Song Description

This is about a relationship that ended a long time ago but meant a lot to me. One that I'm glad I had even though it didn't work out.

Lyrics

I thank you for letters and visits and post cards
And city schemes and kind words that you tell me were not true

Later, thinking and drinking, I wrote to you
And I was just, just a child with that money in my hands

Time and place, time and place
They were right, you were wrong,
They were right, you were wrong

Thank you for advice to straighten out my rotten life
You told me one day I would love my wife

Thank you for kisses and the new things that you showed me
I never dreamed but you seemed like the answer, so instantly

Time and place, time and place
They were right, you were wrong,
They were right and you were wrong

And after all this time, after all these places
I sometimes think of you
And after all this time, after all these faces
I sometimes think of you
