about

This song started off with what is now the first line. The melody was quite different. I forgot the old melody when sometime later I came to the song to try and build on the original idea. A new melody was born and so was a chorus section. The second verse came at a later stage, it was much more difficult to write. I had to really use my imagination to explore the emotions a prostitute might have.

The whole songwriting process grew out of my experience of working with some homeless people and drug addicts in Glasgow.

What does it mean? The verses tell a story, one of a homeless man, and the other of a prostitute. To which the chorus is for me a personal response to my experience but also what I feel should be the prayer of the church but not only for homeless people but for all of those on the margin of society, in poverty, pain and distress.
