Yes. It was written by Gill Burns and it's possible that Pete Coe recorded it on an early album but I can't find it on my shelf.

We certainly sung it for a while in some outfit - maybe Red Shift.

I can find the words and maybe even a recording but not today. I think I may still have the original Gill Burns vinyl in my archive in which case I can digitise it and let you have an mp3.
I'm not in contact with Gill Burns to ask her permission but I'm sure she wouldn't mind.

It's a thoughtful little song and I recorded a rough version of it for someone's funeral a few years back. I don't think the recording survived.
