I brought your name to the river Music: Chris Hutchings Words: Aine McAllister for Alistair Digges and the Edinburgh Singers Your name On Camino Portugues I brought your name to the river, called it on the wind. Words whispered in water, the river carried your name to the sea. Your voice in the ocean's drum echoed back to me. I sent my longing onto a breeze through a forest of silver leaves. You returned on the wing of a song bird to move a while with me. Three times I called it, a gift to the sky - the blue of your eye felt myself swim in the air you filled. I still. A falcon sways; drifts away. Music Š Chris Hutchings 2018 | Words Š Aine McAllister 2017 twitter.com/hutchingsmusic | twitter.com/ainemcallister This score is not licensed for performance.
