about

A song I wrote to mark five years since the death of my father, Martin Wortmann (1953-2017). Hoping this can provide some healing for my family and those whose lives my dad touched in some way throughout his eventful life.

Much love x

lyrics

You’re quiet, you’re still today
Favourite jacket, boots and jeans
Had so much to tell, now helplessly see your boat has sailed
Taken on this bitter winter breeze
Trembling, I touch your icy brow
Never saw this, never saw this, now

You should know today that you live on, live on
Living in on our words and deeds
You should know today that you live on, live on
Living in on our smiles and tears

I imagine what you’ve become
You hear sounds you couldn’t before
In another realm, can only be seen in moonlight now
One day we’ll meet you on that distant shore
All along, I never walked alone
You’d be watching, up in the front, row

Beyond the river, up in the woods you wait
Listening for echoes, of the lives we will make

You should know today that you live on, live on
Living on in our smiles and tears
You should know today that you live on, live on
Guiding us through starless nights
