I am presently working flat out on the Nick Harper book – The Wilderness Years – in order to complete it to take down to him in a few days time.
I’m going through it again to create the seventh edit and adding the lyrics and photos.
This was one of the lyrics I have just typed up. It is a haunting love song called stronger. Nick writes the most incredible love songs. He is as adept with his words as he is with his strings.
If you haven’t heard him have a listen to the YouTube clip at the end. Until then – read this beautiful poem:
Stronger
I drew a picture and surprised myself
How beautiful it seemed
But then I’d only really drawn what I’d seen
And my love grows stronger
So I wrote this song for her and I surprised myself
How beautiful it seemed
But then I only really sing what I feel
And my love grows stronger
We are all dipping our toes
Into the water of eternity
And you can feel the ripples that flow
From father to daughter
And mother to son – everyone
I’m going to walk this earth for her
And I’ll remind myself
How beautiful it seems
I’m going to walk this earth for her
And I unwind myself as loose as I can be
Because it’s easy when it is what it seems
And my love grows stronger
We are all dipping our toes
Into the water of eternity
And you can feel the ripples that flow
From father to daughter
And mother to son – everyone
