about

I had a friend who used to book my shows in the eastern part of Germany, he booked me into a lot of old churches and castles. Only later did I find out that this was just a hobby, he also had a day job; he was a priest. Sadly, my friend passed away suddenly, but he left only good things behind, this one is for Jürgen, he was a hero to many people.

lyrics

Circles
(Words and music: Ray Cooper)

We walk in circles on the earth
With the sun the big sky and the birds
With friends we meet along the way
Some will go and some will stay

The things I miss about you now
Your light your laughing and your smile
You left behind an open place
An empty space

Seagulls are crying every day
Sometimes I think I hear them call your name
But there's no answer to their call
Some will come and some will fall

I follow footprints in the snow
Back to where we started it all
Then we went our different ways
Some will go and some will stay

If there's a heaven you will know
That's where you surely will go
You stepped lightly on the ground
And lightly you did go

Seagulls are crying every day
Sometimes I think I hear them call your name
But there's no answer to their call
Some will come and some will fall

I sing your name up to the sky
But the birds shout back and cry
There's no answer here below
Some will come and some will go

I walked up to the mountain top
And gazed across the sea
Where the endless green waves
Had once spoken to me

Seagulls are crying every day
Sometimes I think I hear them call your name
But there's no answer to their call
Some will come and some will fall

We walk in circles on the earth
With the sun the big sky and the birds
With friends we meet along the way
Some will go and some will stay
