Susan's beautifully haunting vocal dances over an ebb and flow of 12-string guitars and Irish whistles. The engine-room of the song features the innovative bass playing of West African Hilaire Penda (Salif Keita Band) weaving his magic around quirky, tin-soldier drums, programmed by engineer/producer Satch Norton.
We met when we were children And life was a holiday
Now you sleep in your favourite land High on a hill in God’s sweet hands
Yea, I think of you I’ve a photograph and a memory just of you I think of you
We met when we were making music In the city of bells and spires
We were learning oh so fast about About life and our desires
Yea, I think of you I’ve a photograph and a memory just of you
You were shining through the painted glass The colours were a view
There was a sun-ray burning Burning a trail that I know now is true
And there you dance in the swirling sand High on a dune in God’s sweet hands
You’re looking fine I can see you smile
Yea, I think of you I’ve a photograph and a memory just of you
Yea, I think of you standing there Smiling at me from a photograph I can see
Your Love, your Grace Live on and on and on and on and on and on and on
And when I next, I next see you You’ll be smiling at me
For real, for real, for real
