about

*Please download, funds come from downloads only and all profits after artists fees are paid go to Sandra's Marie Curie fundraiser*

Sandra's beautiful poem was easy to set to music and to sing, and each time I sing her words I feel connected to her spirit of strength and creativity and inspired by the pure love expressed to her wife Clare. The tenderness, vulnerability and resilience of her words do not loose their power in repetition, instead, I am struck by their grace each time I hear this beautiful expression of timeless love.
Sandra Richardson died at a Marie Curie Hospice in Liverpool on Wednesday 25th August 2021. Sandra Lived with stage 4 breast cancer for 3 years and wanted to raise funds for Marie Curie Hospice in Liverpool who looked after her so profoundly. After spending her life working tirelessly in communities in Liverpool, Sandra and her wife Clare wanted to help the doctors, nurses, all staff and patients where she was being cared for in Marie Curie. Over £23,300 has been raised so far and a restful and magical staffroom has been built at Marie Curie Liverpool. This fundraising is in Sandra's memory. We loved her deeply.

Lyrics
we fly on my love
I'm going to write these words and I hope they fall like flower petals on the page.
and if they do and when they do, they will say I love you.
these words will sound like heaven, they will breathe like the earth, they will rest like me in your arms
these words will sound like heaven, they will breathe like the earth, they will rest like me, rest like me in your arms, they will rest like me in your arms.

I'm going to carry home the hag stone while all the world wolves are howling,
oh baby, don't think you won't shine again, that's just a thought, that's just a thought.
I'm going to wrap you in the purest silk, it glitters like you, even in the rain.
I'm going to wrap you in the purest silk, it glitters like you, glitters like you even in the rain, even in the rain, even in the rain.

I will cradle your head, your lungs to breathe, look deep, deep into your eyes.
We fly on my love, we fly on my love, our souls, our souls intertwined
and our love will sound like heaven, it will breathe like the earth, it will rest like me in your arms.
Our love will sound like heaven, it will breathe like the earth, it will rest like me, rest like me, it will rest like me, rest like me in your arms.
It will rest like me in your arms.
We fly on my love, we fly on my love, oh, oh.

I'm going to write these words and I hope they fall like flower petals on the page.
Like flower petals on the page
