about

The most personal song on the album. I wrote the lyrics on the flight home from the UK after my mother's funeral, the song was written to the lyrics. She wasn't the best mother because of her family background & the fact that we had an absent father, but she did "well enough alone". Also, to me the phrase summed up her solitary life bringing up three boys - well, enough, alone. Amazing what a comma can do.

lyrics

Not ever-present
Tense with tragedy
Your part-time care
Free abandoned you
Deserted we...
Leave, well enough, alone
Your single hand
Picked down through the sand
To hold not to save
You sink to the deep
And cry well enough alone...
Leave, well enough, alone
Sleep walk my child
With your innocent smile
At the camera alone
Hold-out for home
You did well you did well you did well you did
Well
Enough
Alone
Leave, well enough alone
