Subject: RE: Songs about 'crossing over'
I like the idea of "still being around" that this song conveys:

Soaring Free
(Eric Bogle / M. Sansom)

Nae need tae cry for me
You only have tae walk
The places that I loved
And there is where I'll be
Nae need tae cry for me

Round autumn's chestnut trees
In Hay Lodge park you'll find me
Dancin' wi' the leaves
Joyous in blustery breeze
Round autumn's chestnut trees

Chorus:
My spirit will soar free
And swoop wi' the swallows
O'er the glitterin' Tweed
As it surges tae the sea
My spirit will soar free
Free - free - free


Wi' winter's mists I'll merge
And swirling nestle
In the shelterin' hills
Where trees and sky converge
Wi' winter's mists I'll merge

And I will be nearby
When pipers swell your heart again
Wi' ancient pride
And Beltane banners fly
Yes I will be nearby

Chorus

So greet nae mair for me
This land was in my blood
And now is in my soul
And there I'll ever be
So greet nae mair for me

Chorus

From the CD "The Colour of Dreams", CDTRAX 237

Best wishes,

Bente
