Bruce, Besch & Bramkamp - Eulogy For Alison

Текст с Bandcamp’а: “My niece, Naomi, wrote and delivered a very clever and moving eulogy for her mother. I asked her permission to make a song of it. Here it is. lyrics EULOGY FOR ALISON (Ian M. Bruce, Naomi Joliffe & Katharina Bramkamp.) Mum! You are my confidant. Mum! You are my friend. My greatest supporter and greatest critic too. Instilling courage in me. Encouraged by you! On August 19 your life came to an end. I’m day by day tormented We said no goodbyes I no longer hear your voice. Yet somehow I do All my whys and wherefores I still direct to you. I am just a lost child guessing your replies. Refrain.. Sitz mit mir am Bach im Grünen. Blütenblätter zieh’n davon Seh den Wind in deinen Haaren. Bleibe bei mir, Alison! The things we take for-granted Like the pot of jam Juicier than ever in deeper purple ways I’m scared to loose the lid for fear you fly away Now I realise how much it said “I am!” Sitz mit mir am Bach im Grünen. Blütenblätter zieh’n davon Seh den Wind in deinen Haaren. Bleibe bei mir, Alison! Every wee blackcurrant Each discarded strand I see you in your garden harvesting with love I see you in bright sunlight. Vivid blue above. The label “Blackcurrant” neatly by your hand. Sitz mit mir am Bach im Grünen. Blütenblätter zieh’n davon Seh den Wind in deinen Haaren. Bleibe bei mir, Alison! I hoped I would be eating my freshly baked scones with that jam - with you. I almost despise that jam. But yes. Of course - I will I will sit and have my scones and your jam. And you will be with me. As always for always Love you Mum.
