about

I spent my formative years in the wonderful city of Liverpool. Returning there for a visit from my British Columbia home I sadly discovered that all my childhood haunts were gone - my house, school, playgrounds, church, shops, people - everything, cleared away in the name of progress. I was beyond sad!

lyrics

Back To Liverpool

It’s been a lifetime since I left those shores or so it seems
But every now and then I need some more
To satisfy my dreams
A chance to walk those broken streets again
In fifties monochrome
But being there brings so much pain
Because I know those streets are gone
And grass has grown around
Barely anything is left behind

So here I am heading back to Liverpool
I was there when the Beatles and the others made it cool
All I wanted was my own guitar
I couldn’t wait to finish school in Liverpool
Here I am heading back to Liverpool
I may have left the place back then but I’m no fool
Doesn’t matter where I live comes down to
How my heart is feeling as a rule
I’ll always be from Liverpool

Left the Mersey brown to travel cross the world to lakes of blue
And though I love it every now and then I yearn for what I knew
A chance to lose myself in days gone by
With friends I’ll never see
But they’re alive within my mind
So vivid in my memory
This place I once called home
I know I’ll never walk alone

acoustic interest. ... more
