about

This track is dedicated to the memory of Ranajit Paul Choudhury.

A father, husband and grandad.

We will miss you and keep you in our hearts and memories forever.

lyrics

You never realise how thin the line is between life and death - until you watch someone take their last breath,

The soul is gone but the body is left

It’s a shock it’s an outrageous theft/

And yet, as time passes each subsequent day you accept

That we should celebrate and pray not regret

The ones that have gone away weren’t meant to stay don’t forget,

Our own deaths a friend that we haven’t yet met/

How dare the sun shine and people get on with life like nothing happened and the world hasn’t stopped it’s summertime

And someone is crying, mourning in white remembrance might - be painful but we all ascend to the light/

There’s no defence and no fight, only acceptance that might

Ease the pain the bottomless grief that sends in the night

When it feels like no end is in sight,

Take strength from the knowledge that it’s all really meant to be right/

Theres no exceptions and there’s no turning back the tide

Our family left behind like a track rewinds

All the memories inside strike a match for time

Blazing like immortal fire always there to re enact the mind/

Safeguards these hidden treasures in us they will live forever

Yeah Life is full of pain maybe heavens full of pleasure

Or you could reincarnate turn into something better,

Whatever you believe take peace from it and just remember/

One day you’ll be carried away, when this finishes

So try and be happy today with no bitterness

Let the earth and the sky be your witnesses

Death and rebirth and all life is magnificence/

Memories never die, tears gonna dry,

You’re healing in time and that’s alright,

Cause that’s just life

Memories never die, the years gonna fly

They leave us behind but that’s alright,

I guess that’s life
