about

Leaving. A song about clearing a house and home that had been
the hub of our family for 40 years. The narrative for the song stems from a vivid image of the day we moved in and seeing the previous family still packing their last lorry load. Home is about people and this was the home of my Mother

lyrics

Leaving by Carol Fieldhouse

Sunday in winter sun
Cases on the ground
They’re leaving fifty years or more
Hopes and memories pass at the door
I remember, remember, I remember, remember

Time and children always run
Summers came and went
Winter fires and Christmas times
Slowly fade and then they die
I remember, remember, I remember, remember

The cheerful biscuit tin,
Chocolate that you hid
And the warmth of ironed clothes
Scones cooled on the stove

Linen and photographs
Assemble in the hall
We’re leaving after forty years
Our memories will fade from here
I’ll remember, remember, I’ll remember, remember
I’ll remember, remember, I’ll remember, remember
