Memories of a Dear Friend...

Welcome Home

(Dave Dobbyn)

~*~*For Dougie, and his men*~*~ 
 

Tonight I am feeling for you
Under the state of a strange land
You have sacrificed much to be here
‘there but for grace…’ as I offer my hand
Welcome home, I bid you welcome, I bid you welcome
Welcome home ... from the bottom of my heart
Out here on the edge
The empire is fading by the day
And the world is so weary in war
Maybe we’ll find that new way

So welcome home, see I made a space for you now
Welcome home from the bottom of My Heart
Welcome home from the bottom of our hearts
Keep it coming now - keep it coming now
You’ll find most of us here with our hearts wide open
Keep it coming now - keep on coming now
Keep it coming now - keep on coming now

There’s a woman with her hands trembling - haere mai
And she sings with a mountain’s memory - haere mai

There’s a cloud the full length of these isles
Just playing chase with the sun
And it’s black and it’s white and it’s wild
All the colours are one

So welcome home, I bid you welcome, I bid you welcome
Welcome home from the bottom of our hearts
Welcome home, see I made a space for you now
Welcome home from the bottom of our hearts
From the bottom of our hearts

See, we took off to the beach earlier in the month. I put my camera away safely...

And of course, something hit something else, and its broken :( I feel really sad about it and will have to wait for insurance to fix it... so this week, no photos... This post is in memory of a very beloved military man, and a beautiful Spiritual man who I miss dearly... Time spent with Dougie was never going to be long enough!
Loving him forever... 

War is never the answer to any question!
