This time paying homage to grandpa. Did I miss any dead folks out this album?

I often stop and think of William
Up on Skinners Ridge
He passed me on his way back down
As I passed from being a kid
A shame youâ€™d say
But aint that the way
Things go, and none the less
I know what he was and what he did for me
And I know that I was blessed

I was feeling out of place and trying to find a place to hasten
My recovery but everywhere I went the people subtley
Made me feel I was missing something dumbing down my sense of self
So much so Iâ€™d leave their homes feeling like I was someone else
I climbed the mountain and the doubting started stopping

Isnâ€™t this jolly.

Skinnerâ€™s Ridge. Where memories live.
Sat on the hillside
Thats where I long to be
Skinners Ridge. The cemetry is
The basest of tributes
To a man.

Everytime I need to hear myself think I go sit there
Gave the ridge the name of Skinner cos sometimes I think of him there
Not only him I mostly think of when we were altogether
Boosted by the memories to face more stormy weather
I sometimes even feel as though thereâ€™s someone up there with me

Isnâ€™t this jolly.

Skinnerâ€™s Ridge. Where Memories Live.
The view from the hillside
Thatâ€™s all I long to see
Skinnerâ€™s Ridge. The cemetry is
The basest of tributes to a man.

Kick-arse number, love the guitar. The vocals are primo, great high notes. This would be a great song to hear live in a club.
