Today I’ll take you through about 5 minutes of chat and breath before singing you a beautiful song written by Tess Lewis (Salvation Jane) that I will need your help being percussion for.

The lyrics for Tess’ beautiful song are below:
You’re Here
Midnight when I heard that your journey had begun
Your soul was spinning now beyond the pathway of the sun
Eyes that looked at me with love are now forever closed
And ‘though life’s changed it’s not like I supposed
For now I know
In the space behind every thought,
You’re here
In the threads that wind ‘round my heart
You’re here
And ‘though worlds now keep us apart I know
You’re here
Magpies in the morning seem to call your name to me
And rain on the gum leaves conjures more than memories
A favourite book, my sister’s smile, the smell of fresh cut hay
Reminds me that you’re with me every day
In so many ways
In the space behind every thought,
You’re here
In the threads that wind ‘round my heart
You’re here
And ‘though worlds now keep us apart I know
You’re here
Voices, faces, places, plans
Are woven in our lives in a thousand strands
Takes some time to realise
That love never dies
Time still slips away and the months turn into years
But the fading of our memories is a thought that holds no fears
Deep within us lies a trace of all we’ve ever known
And none of us are ever on our own
Never alone
In the space behind every thought,
You’re here
In the threads that wind ‘round my heart
You’re here
And ‘though worlds now keep us apart I know
You’re here
