In a town on the heights

We met in sound

Let the cover of night

Draw us down

Further south

Where I was young

And caught up

In the skies on the way

I see them now

I’m not the same

Nor you with your little one

Who needs more than love

A mother afraid

I had it so easy

You were the one who fought

Was I a better man

When you held me up

And gave me back more than time?

Was I a better man

With you Sol?

Maybe time has the key

To one last door

Where our eyes cannot meet

Without being sure

That the sound had always

Run inside us

From a start out of reach

I see it now

I’m not the same

Nor you with your little one

Who needs more than love

A mother afraid

I had it so easy

You were the one who fought

Was I a better man

When you held me up

And gave me back more than time?

Was I a better man

With you Sol?

Some shimmers hide the way

And when the idols are gone

The sun raises others the same

Knowing well

The silent thought has no answer, no

Maybe I was too blind

To recognise

The buried fire

Was lying aglow

If I need no forgiveness

I’m all but forgotten

Lost in the changing of the times

With dust on the table

The quena lies broken

Waiting on one last songline

To live another life

Dream it Sol

Said I’m sorry that I never wrote

Though I meant to I just couldn’t start

Most of the time I spend alone

Just trying to make sense of it all

Have you ever been alone?

No you ain’t ever been alone

No, not really Sol

No you ain’t ever been alone

No, not really Sol
