lyrics

Tom practiced his speech
All the way from town
Saddlesore, sweat and dust
Made mud on his brow
But the hardest part
Was still ahead
Told Sal he signed up
She didn’t yell, she didn’t cry
He heard the seconds pass
The resignation in her sigh
She turned toward the window …

Go if you want to
Go where you need to be
Don’t let me stop you
Don’t let me get in your way

Sal proved an able captain
And kept the farm afloat
’Til, months after the armistice,
Tom disembarked the boat
But that frightening, bloody movie
Kept playing in his head
She tried to soothe the nightmares
But he always pushed away
And years of fraying tempers tore
One Wednesday after tea
Her suitcase by the doorway …

Go if you want to
Go where you need to be
Don’t let me stop you
Don’t let me ...

Fifty years together and apart
Though love is not a science
Maybe practice can perfect
This darkest of the arts

A white room with a window
Looking out on spindly trees
Tom shrank into a nest
Of wires and machines
With Sal on sentry duty
Beside his bed
She held his pale hand
That used to be so strong
That twirled her ’round the dancefloor
Caressed her longing skin
She kissed his cheek and whispered …

Go if you want to
Go where you need to be
Don’t let me stop you
Don’t let me ...

Go if you want to
Go where you need to be
Don’t let me stop you
Don’t let me get in your way
Don’t let me get in your way

Fergus Maximus is that guy with his headphones on long after the playlist has finished, completely oblivious because there’s always music in his head anyway. Ferg's unapologetic pop songs encompass all the important things: love, loss, mistakes, surprises and people’s astonishing capacity to miscommunicate. In these songs and stories you'll find some extraordinary snapshots from an ordinary life. ... more
