Spoken:
Sometimes I see you
In my mind's eye
The little boy you would be now
A sweet little ginger boy
Soft and sensitive
Silently watching your brother
And playing together
But you never speak
I wish with all my heart I could meet that boy
Hear his voice
Put my arms around him
and bring him home
Each year we go to the woods
Cut down a tree
And carve a boat in the days
You were alive
 
 
Sung:
'The birdsong at break of day
The blossoms of spring
Just watching the breaking waves
The sea rolling in
The smell of the fresh cut grass
The glisten of dew
Reflections in coloured glass
An answer you knew
A view from above the downs
The lushness of green
Kicking autumn leaves all around
Sugar in the bloodstream
If we only could
Go back there and find another way
If we only could
Go back there and take it all away
Spoken:
Your mum collects and dries orange flowers for you
On the day you died,
We go to Cuckmere Haven
Where we left you
And fill the boat with flowers
Feathers, keepsakes
And send it off to you
We know it won't reach you
We hope another little boy or girl
Somewhere along the waterway will find it and enjoy it
Sung:
The salt drying on your skin
The sun on your face
A day of just wandering
All over the place
The light in the afternoon
The sun going down
A voice calling after you
The one you want around
If we only could
Go back there and find another way
If we only could
Go back there and take it all away
If we only could
Go back there and have you here today
The sand underneath your feet
The flow of the tides
Hearing your child's heartbeat
The tears that you cry
The comfort of old friendship
The thrill of the new
A rainstorm in warm blankets
It's better with two
The sight of the harvest moon
Looking up at the stars
Singing a favourite tune
The stories of scars
A fire as the nights draw in
The lick of the flames
Sitting up through the night talking
The sharing of pains
If we only could
Go back there and find another way
If we only could
Go back there and take it all away
If we only could
Go back there and have you here today
