about

A song of hope, imagining my parents meeting again in the North Channel, near Portpatrick, where we scattered their ashes in the sea.

lyrics

When things are looking bleak, you’re feeling all is lost
Friends say carry on, but you worry about the cost
Tried to fly above the clouds, but you fell into the sea
Can you hear a swallow singing, somewhere inside of me?

I will be your mainstay, you can rely on me
To keep you afloat, on any stormy sea

Keep heading for the lighthouse, hold tightly to this rope
Listen to the birdsong, it’s there to give you hope
Listen to the birdsong, it’s there to give you hope
Listen to the birdsong…

So cold, it’s worse than winter, but spring is on the way
Your home’s off in the distance, but you’ll get back one day
When pain is too much to bear, grief’s swallowed you up whole
Listen to the swallow singing deep inside your soul

I will be your mainstay, you can rely on me
To keep you afloat, on any stormy sea

Keep heading for the lighthouse, hold tightly to this rope
Listen to the birdsong, it’s there to give you hope
Listen to the birdsong, it’s there to give you hope
Listen to the birdsong…

Keep heading for the lighthouse, hold tightly to this rope
Listen to the birdsong, it’s there to give you hope
Listen to the birdsong…
Listen to the birdsong…
