Music and Lyrics © C. L. Birch, 2005
first performed at the Christmas Concert, December 2005
 
Because I wrote a satirical piece the previous Christmas, I opted to try to write something somewhat more serious. The recording, unfortunately, does not feature Ms Brisley whose beautiful vocals really made this song special.
 

Another Wavell winter
Another year of snow
Another slate of mem’ries
Another state of mind to know

Another path to follow
Another piece of time to hold onto
- we hold onto.

Another Wavell winter
Another year gone by
Another wave of faces
Another image saved in our eyes

Another path to follow
Another piece of time to hold onto
- we hold onto.

Never say goodbye...

And if we falter
Lives ever altered,
Never say goodbye...

And if the distance
Deepens the difference,
Never say goodbye...
