The title comes from a favourite saying of one of my favourite people - long gone, never forgotten... at least not yet.
Lyrics
Come My Bonnie Boycccc1.ccShe used to sing my waking, like an echo of my dreamsccWhispering a welcome to each dayccThen I found her staring, at the stranger in her bedccUntil I spoke and then she?d smile and sayccccChorus:ccCome my bonnie boy, its time for you to riseccAnd help me take a walk down memory laneccI?ve seemed to have lost me marbles, so come my Peter PanccCome fly and help me find them once againcccc2.ccAt first it was all laughter, just the freckles of old ageccFor her, out of sight was out of mindccThe stymies of forgetfulness, produced the odd sad smileccBut there?s no turning point that?s underlinedccccChorus:ccCome my bonnie boy, its time for you to riseccAnd help me take a walk down memory laneccI?ve seemed to have lost me marbles, so come my Peter PanccCome fly and help me find them once againcccc3.ccLike a silk-full spider, half-way through its webccSmall distractions helped to lose her wayccA mind once as sharp as needles; that gently made its pointccHas just as gently failed and slipped awayccccBridge:ccI am still her bonnie boy but I can tell no lieccMy love has lost her way to memory laneccShe will never sing my waking, from the pinprick of her mindccAnd I?d settle just to hear her say againccccChorus:ccCome my bonnie boy, its time for you to riseccAnd help me take a walk down memory laneccI?ve seemed to have lost me marbles, so come my Peter PanccCome fly and help me find them once againccCome fly and help me find them once againcccc
