about

The very first song written for the album, back in May 2016. Deliberately, the lyrics don’t tell the whole story behind the song. I pondered what happens to a guardian angel when the person they look after dies. Do they die too? The song is from the point of view of a guardian angel of a grieving partner left behind. Grieving as well for the loss of the other angel. A long time in creation, Anny’s performance and the supporting harmonies ‘get to me’ every time I hear it. This has become a most special track.

lyrics

My friend my lifelong friend
I just hope you can hear me
I was with you there today
They all walked away
Left you with the cold cold earth

My friend
You’re not the only one crying
He watched over him
As I do every single day
Keeping you from harm

He was my love my only love
And my salvation
We had adventures with you
Kept you from all danger
My love oh my love
I will so miss you


My friend
You’re not the only one crying
You’re not the only one
He watched over him
As I do every single day
Keeping you from harm

My friend
I hope you can hear me
If only you could see

I’m around your heart and soul
Can you feel me?
I’ll keep watching over you
As I do every single day
Keeping you from harm
