Cover of Kelvin Gilbert's acoustic dirge. It concerns the fact that for 99.99999% of us no-one will know anything about us or what we did in two generations time. Nice thought really....

When the new dawn starts to fade and at closing time
At the turning of a page and the reading of each line

I'll remember you
And you'll remember me
But who'll remember us?

The Medwyn burst its banks last night, flooded everything in sight
I drove to Lanark in the rain at the closing of the light
Try to mend these broken days, find my thoughts an endless haze
Try to walk this tired maze and find that hope is just a phase

Chorus

A hundred years'll wipe this clean and who would know we'd ever been
A grain of sand in a restless wind, the weight of years fall far behind
