You are the reason that I’m still alive
You are the reason that I will survive
You are the wind that gives me my flight
You are the reason that I take delight
In the simple things
You give me my wings
You know I can’t do this all on my own
It’s clear I need you in my life to go on
So don’t leave me alone
Don’t leave me alone
Don’t leave me alone
Don’t leave me alone, no
Don’t leave me alone
You are the ground that gives me my full bloom
You are the anchor this vessel clings to
You give me colour when I’m feeling blue
When I need direction, I know I can turn to you
For the simple things
You give me my wings
You know I can’t do this all on my own
It’s clear I need you in my life to go on
You know that you’re my secret place
You’re my saving grace
When will I see your face again

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
