about

Written in a single evening 2 weeks after the birth of Glenn's first child Ewan Thomas Miller (born 19th August 1997). The final lyrics were trimmed down from pages of thoughts spewed out between 10pm and 3am with the help of endless cups of coffee.

Probably the most openly personal and direct song we've ever done. The song speaks for itself.

(Taken from The Whisky Priests April 1998 Newsletter)

lyrics

SONG FOR EWAN

Hello precious one, so small and frail
May you grow to be strong and may your strength never fail
'Though you enter a world of sorrow and pain
May you find peace and may wisdom be your reign

Go forward with laughter and joy in your heart
Be positive in everything you do
Always believe in what you seek to achieve
And I will believe in you

This whole world is yours to paint and explore
May your colours be vibrant, may your canvas be broad
May each path you choose be sure and bold
May the secrets of the universe be yours to unfold

May your journey be exciting, may you reach for the stars
May all your dreams come true
Should you walk on Mars or through war-torn lands
May your aim always be true

The love I feel is deep and real
It's pouring down on you
My heart is on my sleeve for all to see
As I sing this song for you

But hush for now, may your life bring joy
And may you find happiness too
And when I am blessed with a child of my own
May he or she be beautiful like you

And when I am blessed with a child of my own
May he or she be beautiful like you

(Gary Miller)
