Please accept this free download of my song.xx If you can support the 2-4 Market Place project please do so, if not, I would love you to buy an extra item for your food shop and put it in the local food bank collection.
If you can't do that, thank you for listening...that is really appreciated!
This song was written to recognise the history and stories of 2-4 Market Place, Caistor in Lincolnshire. The building has been an important part of life in the town for many years. It has been a place to live, work and play. Currently, a project is ongoing, to regenerate the building, which has fallen into disrepair. There are extensive plans for its future and it is hoped that it will become a vibrant part of Caistor life once more. Please check out the website for 2-4 Market Place, Caistor if you want to know more.
lyrics
My windows watch over you all.
Every kiss, every rise, every fall.
Capture a moment in time
as you walk through the door.
Remembering time in this square
A future evolving with care
New memories building
on all that has happened before
Early morning, she pays her bill
An ordinary day in Central Stores
Children chattering, they wait outside
Smile as she’s coming out the door
My windows watch over you all
Every kiss, every rise, every fall
Capture a moment in time
as you walk through the door.
Celebration time watch the flags all fly
We’ve sold enough fine wares to last a year
The gathering crowds fill the market square
And at last the whole parade is here
Remembering time in this square
A future evolving with care
New memories building
on all that has happened before
So many people in and out these doors
Make a home, for work or to play
The faces change as the years go by
Memories may fade yet spirit stays
A busy island full of craft and skill
Changing times flow up and down the hill
A lion, proud, shares this privileged view
Flowers colour all the old and new
My windows watch over you all
Every kiss, every rise, every fall
Capture a moment in time
as you walk through the door.
Community is calling as “Caistor Goes” on
New visions and the ideas overflow
A place for all, or a welcome stay
A dream of a future that will grow
My windows watch over you all
Every kiss, every rise, every fall
Capture a moment in time
as you walk through the door.
Remembering time in this square
A future evolving with care
New memories building
on all that has happened before
New memories building
on all that has happened before
New memories building
on all that has happened before
