David Francey, "The Breath Between"

Another year that's had us see

The passing into memory

Souls and hearts, and voices stilled

Before that sun could climb the hill

We hold them close, and we carry on

In the breath between the here and gone ...

Excellent.

An(other) excellent album ...

David Francey, "Skating Rink"

The music from the skating rink
Drifts across the town
The stars of heaven high above
Forever looking down
I stand here looking upward,
And I'm listening to the sound
Of the village in the lonely heart of winter

The lights above the skating rink
Illuminate the scene
And on the snow the shadows show
Footsteps where we've been
And Danny's breath hangs motionless
Hovers like a dream
Above his head, in the lonely heart of winter

The sky above the skating rink
The blackened weight of space
Falls endless on the frozen world
Upon the saving grace
Of the lights around the skating rink
Laughing in the face
Of the darkness at the lonely heart of winter 

David Francey, "All Lights Burning Bright"

The storm overtook us

It felt like the night

And the point and the island

They passed out of sight

But we sailed on rock steady

Set course through the storm

As the sky fell around us

And the wind drove us on

And I thought to myself

I’d be just like this ship

If I kept my light burning

On every trip

The watch it was ended

With the turn of the night

And I wrote in that log book

All lights burning bright

We had all lights burning bright

All lights burning bright

Homesick.
