about

This girl lived on East Preston Street in Edinburgh studying arabic and music, an English Rose who I was transfixed by when I was about 22 but I was so infatuated I could hardly speak to her. I used to see her at Concerts in Old St.Paul's Church and even played a bit of piano with her at the Reid School of Music but an old school friend started going out with her. I always remember she hated to be defined in any way hence the lyric...

lyrics

__________________________
BETWEEN THE EYES

You've got such presence for me
The way you flip your hair
There's something from my distance
Tells me you're really there ,
There ...
I'm longing for you to come true
But I wonder what can I ever do?
So I slip on ice and fall through
The space between me and you

Have you got control of the daytime?
I want to learn to see
There's so much dread in my night-time
I want you to come to me
Me ...
In my soul searching mind
I question every motive that I find
Then leave you far behind
Do your thoughts ever unwind?

I want to take you and shake you
Look into your eyes
I want to laugh and love you
Fight against the lies
That get between the eyes

Now tell me if I meet you
What do you think we could be?
But you never believed in definitions
But does that make you free?
Free ...
In whose hands do we run?
In whose hands lies the sun?
To say at last we are one
But the ties always come undone
