about

This song is about an inspiration and mentor, named John Renbourn, who passed away.

lyrics

How can I thank you for the things that you did?
For the man that I have become and the sounds in my head.
Like a kind beneath the surface of the land that remains his,
And the shadow where he lives.

You wrote for me a song that plays forever in my life,
And I know it’s too late to say but my fingers play the surface of your strings whilst you sleep,
To the song of the man that you made of me,
To the song of the man that you made of me.

And now the shadow that I sleep in,
Will only trace the lights of your coffin.
Like a kind beneath the surface of the land that remains his,
And the shadow where he lives.

You wrote for me a song that plays forever in my life,
And I know it’s too late to say but my fingers play the surface of your strings whilst you sleep,
To the song of the man that you made of me,
To the song of the man that you made of me.
