    Story Behind the Song
    This song wonders about what happens to us after we die. I composed the music for this song when I was 5 years old - I'd had a dream that my father died. The lyrics didn't come until 25 years later when my father passed away. The music is sort of an hypnotic and it is very dark. The vocal performance is very child-like because I was trying to express the same sense of wondering I'd had at the age of 5.

    Thanks to Ian for the two day marathon...

    Lyrics
    I Still Cry...

    Where do the Souls go when their bodies die
    Are they hiding in the sky?
    What of the rest of us - we are left behind
    How can we survive?
    Does Love die with them, can we keep it safe?
    Can we keep their love alive?
    Where do the Souls go?
    Is Heaven in the sky?

    In ages past men have toiled for gold
    To place in the crowns of Kings
    Now their thrones have fallen down
    Like the Angel who lost his wings
    Life is too short to toil for gold
    There are far finer things
    Like the love of man, woman and child
    Truth the wisdom of loss will bring.

    Last night I had a dream and in my dream
    I started to cry
    You'd gone, you'd left me
    And I don't know, I don't know the reason why
    I looked everywhere
    In shadows and in the night air
    I could not find you anywhere

    Where did your Soul go after you died
    Are you hiding in the sky
    Are you watching over me
    Do you know when I cry
    Will I ever see you again
    What if I go up in the sky
    Are you watching over me
    Is Heaven in the sky?

    Where did your Soul go after you died
    Are you hiding in the sky
    Are you watching over me
    Do you know when I cry
    Will I ever see you again
    What if I go up in the sky
    Are you watching over me
    Do you know when I cry?

    I still cry
    I still cry for you.

    For Denis Edward Nash (1938 - 1991)
