about

"Probably the most important song Hugh has ever written!" - It is mesmerizing both lyrically and melodically and has an acoustic instrumentation rich in tone and colour.
The arrangement and production are second to none!

lyrics

There's a world I know
Keeps on coming to me
There's a world I thought
Could turn the key

Near the shore on the waves
Surrounded by cotton-ball skies
I see a mountain road
One I must climb

Chorus:
Where if not by your shadow's side
Will you meet a good friend
In whom you'll confide
I tell bad jokes
On the virgin road white

Follow me closely on
To where hearts abide
Colours abound shining strong
Bringing in eventide

There's a woman I know
Keeps a place near to me
She'll pull me in when I'm cold
I see her turn the key

Chorus:
Where if not by your shadow's side
Will you meet a good friend
In whom you'll confide
I tell bad jokes
But all my best lines are out painting
Virgin road white
