about

'All The Way Home' is a safe return to dry land, and the snowy moors of West Yorkshire where I grew up before moving to Scotland to live by the sea.

Based on the Christmas Carol 'In the Bleak Midwinter' (one of my favourite yuletide carols) the song is a based on a memory from my childhood...

Running through snow packed fields, the smell of train smoke in the air and my hands soaked and freezing...

...is what heading All The Way Home is all about!

lyrics

ALL THE WAY HOME

I met a man with black coal for buttons
I met a man with arms made from branches
In a frozen garden
When our cheeks were like roses

And I want you to follow
Through the fields that we worked on
Over rock walls and stiles
Past the horse in the stable

All The Way Home...

I can hear a train whistle blowin
I can see smoke on the horizon
And if we run we'll make it
Yes I know we're gonna make it

All The Way Home...

To make a man with black coal for buttons
To make a man with arms made from branches.
