This is a low-key return to the Cloud.
The most traumatic experience I've had to endure is the separation from my family. Despite the pain and hurt, I have tried to bear it with dignity, respect and good grace. I wrote many songs about it - two are still on my cloud: 'If Love...', and 'Open Heart'.
'The Space Between Us' is another attempt to come to terms with the situation.
The Space Between Us (Brian Peters)
You walked away
You didn't look back
You didn't turn into a pillar of salt
I was still waiting
For the attack
And I was looking for a glimmer of fault
There were no answers
Just questions unasked
No rhyme or reason
To peg to my mast
You took it all
Stirring no dust
And in the quiet hush
You left the space between us
But I wish you well
Whatever you choose
I don't rejoice in wishes denied
The thing you love most
Must surely be loosed
And I can carry every secret inside
There is no malice
Now we're apart
I'm only sorry
That it didn't last
We had our moments
And though they are passed
I'm still holding fast
To the space between us
And God is in heaven
Among the stars
They circle round us
Like giant cars
But He keeps His eye
Directing their paths
And I pray God will watch
In the space between us
