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 Lyrics: Kie Spate
