Song for Les
Lyrics by Claire Vine
Oh my brother, we’ve not been so close
But as we stand here together
Here in the place where he often stood
Blood binds us together
Oh my brother we drifted apart
But as we work side by side
Here in the space where his lasts have been shook
Birth binds us back together
So here we are again at this time of year
Every year from first to last
Ooh…
My mother, my mother, she really is strong
Leaning upon that gate
Here in the space that they used to share
Life bound them together
My brothers' children they came here today
Though memories of him grow dim
Love leaves a mark that time cannot change
Love binds us all forever
So here we are again at this time of year
Every year from first to last
Ooh…
