Now for something a little different.
Music/Melody/Piano: Nadia Cripps (off-site collab)
Vocals: Gemma Louise Edwards (off-site collab)
Cello: Billy Playle
Lyrics: Donna Devine
Some of you might recall bits of the lyric from several months ago.
Last month I re-wrote the original and took it in a different direction.
I hope you enjoy it. Especially our Billy's bit.

Kindness I Mainly Recall(v1)
Sleepless, I gaze through the window
At roses growing close to the wall
Dew from the long night is forming
I know many petals will fall
Chorus
Grey is the colour of my true love's hair
His eyes are faded blue
The hands that I love, once hard and strong
Look bruised where the veins show through
Where did it go? When did it go?
We seemed not to notice at all
With the passing of years, the joy and the tears
It's kindness I mainly recall
(v2)
We paid with youth for our wisdom
Yet the thought makes me smile late at night
For I know though these hours move slowly
In my heart, love's embers burn bright
Bridge
He's dreaming softly beside me
Once the lover who hid in my garden
Then came to my arms when the moon rose
And our bodies needed no pardon
Chorus
Grey is the colour of my true love's hair
His eyes are faded blue
The hands that I love, once hard and strong
Look bruised where the veins show through
Where did it go? When did it go?
We seemed not to notice at all
With the passing of years, the joy and the tears
It's kindness I mainly recall
