The words really get to me in this song. Ric wrote them about a couple he knew in his village. The couple were life long partners, married for many years until they were separated by a tragic accident.

Delicate

David Paton/Ric Thomson

Delicate, I gave myself to you,
So vulnerable, sincere so real so true
Although the otherness, did call me to his side
Immortal is our love, a love that never dies
So let your mind not wonder,
through darkened corridors
Love is the gift of oneness, separation never knows
And at my last request, it’s this I ask of you
Yes at my last request, it’s this that you must do.

Turn up the love, give way to love
Turn up the love, and let love be your guide
Turn up the love, give way to love
Turn up the love, until we meet again

Delicate, you gave yourself to me,
So vulnerable, sincere so real so true
Although it seems I’m lost forever,
I’m lost only in your sight
With every step you’re taking,
I’m right here by your side
So hold your head up high,
focus your eyes upon the stars
And let me see that smile, the one I know so well
And at my last request, It’s this I ask of you
Yes at my last request, It’s this that you must do.

Turn up the love, give way to love
Turn up the love, and let love be your guide
Turn up the love, give way to love
Turn up the love, until we meet again
Turn up the love, give way to love
Turn up the love, and let love be your guide
Turn up the love, give way to love
Turn up the love, until we meet again
