about

The last song to be written. Preparing to make the album brought into focus that I was no longer in grief - that I had 'got over' that loss and integrated it into my life. Although my loss was shocking and painful at the time, it was not tragic and life-changing in the way some losses are. This song tries to acknowledge that.

lyrics

SOME THINGS

time heals some things
but other wounds remain
like a shadow or a stain
you can’t paint over
some things you don't get over

time brings some change
but some things stay the same
like a funny kind of game
you just can’t win now
you can’t get change from some things

I do forget you now some times
you’re no longer at the raw edge of my mind
I start to laugh again without you some times… some times.

time takes some pain
calls you back to life
like a river deep and wide
it takes you downstream
some things move out to the sea

time heals some things
other wounds remain
like a shadow or a stain
you can’t paint over
some things you don't get over

I played piano and sang live in studio - hence the rough edges! The violin was overdubbed by Suzanne later.
