Words and music by Richard Homer
4/4 110 bpm Intro B flat m A flat C# A flat
B flat m, A flat
the breeze half-whispering to a / memory track
C # A flat
bringing a picture of you and your / perfume back
B flat m, A flat
to me, these years on in the / warm house here
C # A flat
the rain on the Brecon Beacons / to the rear
C#, ==== C#, A flat
ooh, / ooh, / ooh, / ooh ==== notes A flat, E flat, F #, A flat bass
where we listened to the breeze blowing a / beech tree tune
to accompany the colour of the / winter high noon
the rhythm of the water of the / Wye through the night
high up, the eagle, the / hawk, the kite
meeting you for the first time in the / Crickhowell ‘Bear’
the high birds rocking in the / bleak autumn air
the Pengenffordd winter mountain of / barren tree
in Talgarth in May with your / arms around me
Extra B flat E flat m
then you left for work / in the big city
B C#
new clothes, new hair, so / elegant, so pretty
B flat E flat m
but as the time apart / went along
B C# A flat
It seemed something // between us went / wrong
but I'm unable to let / go of you
your memory keeps on coming / back anew
I know in my heart that / you are gone
but why your picture keeps / coming / on and / on
Ch
C# A flat
I have a kind, gentle woman / with me here
C# A flat
but I wish in my heart that / you were near
==== C# A flat
coz the memory of you / won’t go // away
==== C# A flat C #
it keeps coming back like a / new flower in // May
A flat C#
a new flower in / May, a / new flower in / May
but I thank you in my heart / for the time
when I was yours, / you were mine
we had each other in / loving care
that went away / but who knows to / where
I couldn’t know back then what the / years would bring
but I like to think now you wear a / wedding ring
because I don’t want you to / be alone
you’re too beautiful to / be on your / own
Ending Ch
B flat m, A flat, C #
ooh, / ooh, / ooh
