about

“I was quite happy with the Borrowed Books version of this song, but it was written for a very old friend I visited a few times as he fought a losing battle with an inoperable brain tumour. He loved his folk music, and as soon as I started playing with Iain and Amy, I knew I had to do a version of the song with fiddle and mandolin. I love their playing throughout the song, but the solos they both play, for me, just take it to another level. I love it, and I think he would have, too.”

lyrics

Another weekend
Sees me driving north again.
Rain batters the windscreen
Maybe should've got the train
Wind's picking up now
But at least it means that it won't freeze
So I'll take the back road
And look out over cold grey seas
Where the memories of a friend still lie
And while currents surge and churn
They'll work his legacy
Still in my memory
Still in my memory

We'll sort of talk and listen
And we'll sort of carry on.
Held on in the hard times
And still her will stays strong
And disappointments she can hide
But can't push the hurt aside
And so we are crushed,
Regrets weigh so much
Regrets weigh so much

This is what I'll cling to
And hope I can stay true
To my faith in strangers
And to my faith in you
And to my faith in fragile love
And those who are near me now
And to my faith in fragile love
And those who are near me now
Remind me of this
Remind me if you can
