Part of Me Lyrics

By the mill on the 'Wey' Canal
We had shouted and run about
And though your laughter echoed out
The sun came up and you weren't around
Decades pass but you still belong
Still the memory of you goes on
And though my life had just begun
You were destined not to come

Though I find it hard to say
But part of me was lost that day

You're my son and will always be
You're the reason that I must see
I hope your dreams reach out for me
When I look I just have to weep

Are you parted from what you want?
Are you stumbling where once you'd run?
And never know where you belong?
Or understand where you're coming from
Though I find it hard to say
But part of me was lost that day

I was tired beyond belief
Reached out just to search for peace
And breathe the water of the deep
Still my body could not find sleep

When the laughter it seems all wrong
When the sunshine becomes too strong
And oh the pain that still goes on
Plentiful for everyone
Though I find it hard to say
But part of me was lost that day

Is this torment we should not have?
Is this grief that is not of man?
And still our lives seem out of hand
One day will we understand?

If we learn from the days that pass
If we learnt, would we ever ask?
And can it truly control us?
Should we fear what we haven't lost?

Though I find it hard to say
But part of me was made that way
