Story behind the song
A song for Pamela in loving memory of her wonderful dog Robbie, which was written as part of a fund raising project 'song in a million' for rescue dogs in the care of DDA Watch. Pamela wrote about Robbie's happy life with Shoni and Rannoch and Lennon the cat. Robbie and Shoni loved to watch Lennon through the glass door thinking they were invisible to Lennon! We created a song from the inspiration of Pamela's words in return for a donation direct to DDA Watch to help the 'Magnificent Seven' reach a happy future. DDA Watch website - www.ddawatch.co.uk
Lyrics
Robbie Oh my shadow, lost to time but not to heartbeats of the spirit living on Oh the love, cannot be stolen, never taken, never broken though you're gone Oh the boy who stayed so close and never wandered from the safety of my side You were my joy, and I am haunted by the loss you never wished to leave behind. Time is passed And all our treasures roll too far away Death is harsh and in our mother's warmth we long to stay Of Robbie Burns and brave young masters of the verses and the poetry of life You took his name and took your mischief into realms that echo through the dawn of time Oh Rannoch's friend, and you and Shoni gazed on Lennon through the glass, you knew so much And to the end, I saw it coming and I couldn't dream the dream that you would mend Time is passed And all our treasures roll too far away Death is harsh and in our mother's warmth we long to stay Now I recall, those days of summer and the smiles you gave from love so deep inside And through it all, there is no power greater than the heart of canine full of pride Oh the night, is always blinding in the hour I hear the calling out of sight And now I know, you're with my spirit, you're my healing, you're my home, you are my light... © Maria Daines/Paul Killington All Rights Reserved (mcps) ASCAP 29.07.11

Maria and Paul, it's a very sad day for me today as my mom came to the end of her road this morning. So I listen to this song and tears are flowing down my face, the lyrics can only be delivered with the emotions and feelings of an artist such as yourself. I've been lying low musically speaking lately, but after listening to you and Paul, especially on a day like today, I am totally inspired, full of hope, rising out of my despair, ready to start creating again this fall. Thank you my good friends, love you both.
