Story Behind The Song

Inspired by a poem I wrote called "Saunders Rocks"

Song Description

A look at past relationships after they have ended and the view is not bitter but sweet. All the good things are remembered. The fact that some people who are really close at some stage in your life can also fade away is acknowledged.

Lyrics

This was my old place where I would
Hide myself away
Behind the curtains with you we would
Lie beneath the light of day
I remember all the things that you
Said that we should be
Well the years have passed now nothing left but
Faded memories

And there she stands
Wearing the sea around her
In the sunlight
The blue and green surround her
All in a memory
Warm like a summer breeze

I remember the nights the parties
We?d dance until the dawn
When the red wine was flowing
We?d never make it home
It seems we left those times
Now what we do is from nine to five
Transformed in to photographs
They some how form part of our lives

And there she stands
Wearing the sea around her
In the sunlight
The blue and green surround her
All in a memory
Fading like a summer breeze

So tell me baby,
Are you happy with where you are?
Because this train won?t stop
Now that we?ve come this far
On and on the days go by
There?s my best friend disappearing
Well, you don?t seem the same
And I won?t fight back to get
Those old feelings any more

I remember all the things that you
Said that we should be
Well the years have passed now nothing left but
All these memories

There she stands
Wearing the sea around her
In the sunlight
The blue and green surround her
All in a memory
Warm like a summer breeze
All in a memory
Fading just like that summer breeze
