Thread Name: Song for Colin Kemp
Subject: RE: Song for Colin Kemp
This is the photo by Micca.
The song isn't as specific as Stanley's wonderful tribute. I didn't know him that well, but Stanley's song is the sort that will bring his friends and family together with knowing smiles. Thanks for sharing it with everyone Tig. Here's the one I wrote, for what it's worth:
Bright Water
The sun is low as the day it fades
Wild birds ride the wind and fly
Tides and seasons will not wait
What shines beyond this sunset gate
Bright water and the endless sky
You can sail for days and not reach land
Wild birds ride the wind and fly
Clear blue above, and far below
We dream of where we may not go
Bright water and the endless sky
There's a photograph of you
Wild birds ride the wind and fly
The sun behind shines through your hair
The world was yours for a moment there
Bright water and the endless sky
Up into that endless blue
Wild birds ride the wind and fly
We watch and dream from diamond sand
At the place forever touches land
Bright water and the endless sky
