Song information
In 2004 I was approached by Australian Song writer Graham Henderson and asked to put this together. When I went to live in NSW in 2008 I wanted to meet the man (A true ozzy character) but sadly he had already passed. I think his genious should be remembered

Lingering Spirit

©Graham Henderson 2001
Arranged Hughson

She sits at a window. Facing the sea.
A yellow dog. Held on her knee.
She scans the line. Tween the sea and sky.
The quickness of dark. Bringing fear to her eye.

For, somewhere out there. Her Captain toils.
As storm clouds thicken. And, wild sea boils.
He fights the sea, neath wavering mast.
While she wrestles fears. Her face cannot mask.

She worries the ear, of the dog, in her plight.
As she keeps her vigil. throughout the night.
Then in the morning. In front of a gale.
She sees on the water. A white patch of sail.

And slowly the fear, of the night leaves her face. Leaving only relief. And
love, in its place.
 

This scene is repeated. Throughout the years.
In a house that is home to. One woman’s fears.
Storms that bring. Deep fear to her heart.
Slowly are breaking. Her sanctuary apart.


Stone and mortar. Putty, clay.
Are with each storm. Washed, unseen away.
To. flow in streams. To swirl round and round.
And then, to settle, back into, the ground.

And, stock now stand. Warm, in the lea. Of a wall, with a window. Facing the
sea.

Lingering spirit, I feel you there.
Your presence lives, on the cold salty air.
Lingering spirit, you will remain.
To watch over your domain.
Lingering Spirit, You are a comfort to me.
