I couldn't expand or improve on it, so I just repeat the whole thing. It says, 'Hey, you look like me / So we look like him / And when the time came / Just as you are / He was weightless in my arms.'\n\n\"I simply mean that it was so easy to love him in the end, where it hadn't always been,\" Garvey continues. \"You know, I think most people have a complicated relationship with at least one of their parents. But towards the end, in the tangle and the summing up of the man, he was a great bloke. And [my son's] arrival made dad's passing part of life rather than the end of it.\" https://elbow.co.uk/", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
