Moving On

Moving On is track three on the 2014 James album La Petite Mort and was released as the second single from the album in April.

The song is accompanied by a beautifully poignant video by animator Ainslie Henderson that has been used in hospices to explain death to young children.

The song is about the death of a loved one, in Tim’s case his mother and his mentor Gabrielle Roth.

Please, don't get me started
Looking backwards, to move on.
Strong, yet openhearted
Accept leaving, when leaving's come.
Gone, didn't see it coming.
Never said I love you, I hope you knew.
Now my bags are packed,
And my sails are tacked,
And my course is marked by stars.
When this cycle ends,
Will it start again
Will we recognise old friends?

I'm on my way
Soon be moving on my way.
Leave a little light on.
Leave a little light on.
I'm on my way,
Soon be moving on my way.
Leave a little light on.
Leave a little light on.

Time, always unwinding,
All these deadlines in my mind.
Seeds and dreams we planted,
Took for granted, didn't root.
Walking down this road,
Will my pulse beat slow,
Hope to have you close at hand.
When this cycle ends,
Will it start again,
Will we recognise old friends?

I'm on my way,
Soon be moving on my way.
Leave a little light on
Leave a little light on.
I'm on my way
On my way
On my way
On my way
Leave a little light on
Leave a light on
I'm on my way,
Soon be moving on my way.
Leave a little light on
Leave a little light on.
I'm on my way
Soon be moving on my way
Leave a little light on
Leave a little light on,
Leave a little light on.
