saygoodbye(2)

I’m lost in a crowd

I’m wanting to be found

I called out your name

But your answer never came.

You’re high on a cloud

You’ve left me on the ground

I’m searching in vain

But you’re on another plane.

Time to say goodbye, say goodbye.

Every night I see a candle flicker

Your shadow it climbs up the walls

I hear your thunder

Each night I dream

You’ve come to rescue me

I reach for your arms

And you pull me up above

And as I awake

To another lonely day

I realise that you don’t want me this way.

Time to say goodbye, say goodbye.

Every night I see a candle flicker

Your shadow it climbs up the walls

I hear your thunder

Should I join you in this place of wonder

This life is a chain now you’re gone

It pulls me under.

Time to say goodbye

Time to say goodbye

Time to say goodbye

Time to say goodbye

Always loved chairs… and stools… even since 1990…

Just read this, by George Orwell.  It was written when Orwell was a struggling writer in his twenties, he’s broke sleeping in bug-infested hostels and doss houses and working as a dishwasher in Paris.  He is living with tramps and surviving on scraps and cigarette butts.  He gives a personal and honest account of poverty in Paris and London from those times.  

We were hanging in studio 223 this weekend. It’s an amazing archway in Waterloo that’s filled with Victorian furnishings and gifts from the Tongan embassy.  We had a sing song on this beautiful piano :-)
