about

I began writing this piece in the early 80's. It sat on the shelf for 20 years until my son Kaylen was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the age of 5. Fast forward another 20 years and Kaylen (now an audio engineer) has mixed and engineered this song. What a proud moment! I hope you enjoy this unexpected 40 year journey of music.

lyrics

In an embankment
Far away from me
In the snow
Sits a man
With his eyes so sad
I’ve seen his face before
In many lands
In an embankment
Very close to me
Sits a lady in the snow
She smiles at me
With her eyes of Jade
And hair of gold
She has the strength to endure
The cold
Well he’s a frightened boy
In a lonely world
And we won’t sleep well tonight
I’ll take out my magic eraser
And make a pain free better world
I can never lose site
Well he’s a frightened boy
In a complicated world
And I won’t give up the fight
With my magic eraser
I’ll make a pain free better world
I can never lose sight
It wouldn’t be the same place without you
It wouldn’t be the same
It wouldn’t be the same
(repeat)
There is no point in punishing yourself
Is there?
There is no point in thinking it’s your fault
Honey now, is there?
We have to resolve, accept, believe
Have hope that there is good to come
I know there is
I feel there is
And beneath the snow
There is always the seed that grows
In an embankment that I cannot see
But I know
Sits a man
Who can’t understand
Pain and misery
Because he’s so damn lucky
Well he’s a frightened boy
In an unforgiving world
And we won’t sleep well tonight
But with my magic eraser
I’ll make a pain free better world
I can never lose sight
It wouldn’t be the same place without you
It wouldn’t be the same
It wouldn’t be the same

It wouldn’t be the same place without you
It wouldn’t be the same
It wouldn’t be the same

(repeat)
And beneath the snow
There is always the seed that grows
(repeat)

In this embankment
Which I cannot see
With its freshly fallen snow
It falls on me
But my soul is free,
My mind can breathe
And the snow melts with ease
