Never Far is dedicated to our neighbours Jack and Lorraine. From the moment we moved into our home they were there for us and all of our neighbours. Jack and Lorraine had a pool that everyone swam in, generous, kind human beings, surrogate grandparents to our three children and generations of others. They taught us by example, how community works and caring for each other regardless of our differences. Jack was a gunner in the airforce during WWII, flying in the belly of a Lancaster bomber. I wrote this tune after he passed and Lorraine was alone… more lost than alone. It’s a conversation between lovers who refuse separation. They will always be lovingly remembered and we are grateful they were a part of our lives. You can hear the sound of a Lancaster bomber at the end of the song.

I am walking alone Somewhere near the ocean and the stars Still you are near Never Far

I feel your heart In the garden of rose and thorn And you like I Alone

With my tears I will give you rain From my mouth I will whisper in your night We will never be the same Shadows of life

The last day was never meant for me A black sky fell one Sunday Through my soul a bitter wind cried to me You must leave

Now I am walking alone Somewhere near the ocean and the stars Still you are near Never Far
