about

Gill's reflection on the shared experience of losing something or someone during the pandemic.

lyrics

Whilst you're sleeping
machines do the breathing
just stay away from the light
and if you get tired and death comes prowling,
you look him straight in the eye...
And you tell him loud,
and you tell him clear,
it's not your turn yet, it wouldn't be fair
and you tell him that we love you, and you're staying right
here
You've far too much living to do

Whilst you're sleeping
the drip stands beeping
a web of wires incarcerates you
atracurium, noradrenaline, metronidazole and tazocin,
course their way through...
And you always taught me, that things are worth trying
now organ donation and drg sampling
I know you're still in there,
and I know that you're fighting
You've far too much living to do

Whilst you're sleeping, concentrate on healing
just breathe,
please keep breathing
The one in, one out policy hasn't gone unnoticed
More bodybags and anguish than wheelchairs in this place...

And you tell him loud,
and you tell him clear,
you're not going with him,
it wouldn't be fair,
and you tell him that we love you, you're staying right
here,
You've far too much living to do

My father was born in Glasgow, yet somehow I have never visited Scotland. This lovely music sounds like my ticket of return to the country of his birth. Philip Graham
