Travelling in Time

I've always been a Daddy's girl....
My mum is absolutely brilliant and I love her more than words can say, but when I was growing up, it was always me and my dad who went off together on little adventures. He was my hero and I truly believed that he could do anything. 

I lost my dad to Cancer last year, exactly one week and one day after his 76th birthday. Even though I had known for some time that it was coming, when it actually happened I was totally devastated.

My dad was brave, kind, uncomplaining and a true gentleman right up until the very end.
I miss him each and every day. He's always in my thoughts and I still can't quite believe that he's gone - but memories are strange things, they can be so vivid that sometimes its as though he's still here, and a place, sound, sight or smell instantly makes me feel as though I'm travelling back in time.

Father's Day seemed to be a fitting day to release this track. I hope he would have liked it.

Love you always Dad.

Lyrics

Born within a distant land
He left it all behind
Leaving everything he knew
Travelling over sea's and time
Until finally he reached these shores
And here he made his home
His path twined with another path
No longer travelling alone

He turned his hand to many things
He had a family to feed
He put aside all of his dreams
To give us everything we'd need
As children, he helped us to grow
Teaching us right from wrong
He travelled through life with a gentle smile
Until one day, he was gone

But in that quiet place up on the hill
I know his heart is beating still
Beating proud and brave
Forever strong and kind
And though I know he's flying free
He's never far away from me
For my memories take me
Travelling in time

Now here has become that distant place
For he's left us all behind
Leaving everything he once was
He's travelling through time
For now he's reached another shore
And that's become his home
Some journeys that we undertake
We travel them alone

But in that quiet place up on the hill
I know his heart is beating still
Beating proud and brave
Forever strong and kind
And though I know he's flying free
He's never far away from me
For my memories take me
Travelling in time
