Song for Owen. Hard to write a song about the most important thing in your life. But here’s the lyrics of my first attempt. It’s called The Proof.
Sometimes you spoil me
Charm and embroil me
Then I’m your audience
All smiles and applause
Sometimes your tears flow
Swiftly and sweetly
Your pain is mine then,
My pain is yours.
Love can be peaceful
Love can be madness
And your kind of madness
I cannot oppose.
So I’ll light up your lamp posts
So you can fly safely
Brush off the cobwebs
From your telegraph poles.
There is no meaning
No rhyme or reason
There is no mystery
No deep hidden truth.
To the big questions
You are the answer
Life is amazing
And you are the proof.
Life is amazing…
And you are the proof.
To Owen, from Mummy, July 2011.
