Here – or actually on Bandcamp – is a newly-recorded version of a song I’ve put up here and there before.
A track from off a forthcoming album, final title not yet set in stone. Releasing it now because I suppose I ought to release a single occasionally, and the guitar part here is actually the best I’ve managed for this song so far! The first verse is a recollection of the second time I took my daughter to nursery, and the first time I left her there on her own. I felt like a criminal!
Where I’d taken you once before
Kissed you and left you crying
There behind the nursery door
From the day our children are born
Until the day we die
We keep on learning to let go
And how to say goodbye
Took you down to the station
Waited with you for a train
A kiss and a wave from the platform
Saw you homeward bound again
Took you in from the car
Walked you down the aisle
Kissed you goodbye at the reception
Once more you left me, with a smile
Walk me down to the station
Time that I went home again
Blow me a kiss from the platform to warm
An old man’s heart on the train
