about
This is about middle age, and the change in life for parents once the children have flown, how they have to re-define one another
Remembering what brought them together.
lyrics
Come on over pretty darling, stop your work I have something in mind
You look so good this morning, let's take a walk outside
Come stroll with your lover spend some intimate time
Let the wind caress you let it ease your mind
Embracing morning be a man and his wife
Embracing this morning be good friends for life
We can roll we can roll 2x
Kick off our shoes skip the work to do
it's our own time now, we can roll
Free from the chains, far from the crowd
All our cares have been lifted away
You look so good this morning, come share this beautiful day
Stroll with your lover spend some intimate time
Let the wind caress you let it ease your mind
Embracing morning be a man and his wife
Embracing this morning be good friends for life

For my Mum and Dad
John Drumbo French from Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band worked with Thompson on two albums along with Fred Frith and Henry Kaiser.
Those two French, Frith, Kaiser and Thompson albums led me to this.
Also, Richard Thompson taught Hugh Cornwell (of The Stranglers) how to play the bass guitar in a band when they were both at the same school (Emil and The Detectives?).
With a career spanning 50 years and playing with two of my heroes (French and Cornwell) Thompson has produced a fascinating EP.
Well gosh, Boo. That really is an album!
The first time through was wonder and delight. Now it’s just a matter of installing it into my DNA. And so repeat play is engaged. You’ve done it again! warren wigutow
