Would be needed
To describe how good it felt
To be at the album launch performance
Yet, if just one word had to be chosen
From the mountainous pile of words
It would be aplomb
Aplomb, aplomb, aplomb, and again, aplomb
Seven or more months in the making
With a lifetime backtracked
In the writing
Oh how well we receive your memories
Oh how well we receive your memories
How we advise how you step, how you sway
As you tell us of your emotions
As your songs gladden our day
So here’s to the next one
For nothing does ever stand still
Here is to the next compilation
May your collaborations ever march (or dance) on
Happenstance in Heptonstall
