This lovely ballad in waltz-time is a composition of the author and song-writer Anne Infante<\/a>; Living in Brisbane, Australia, she had been born in Sydney and then raised in Papua New Guinea. She has some eight recordings out and has a lovely voice\/presentation.\u00a0 Cliff handed me her “Seasons” CD back in 2009 or so and asked me to transcribe the lyrics and chords for this song that he might perform it.\u00a0 He changed part of the 2d verse to give it the perspective of a man rather than the original woman’s view, and he has sung this but rarely.\u00a0 I, myself, have only recently begun to perform it on my own.<\/p>\n

Where brown-skinned people will greet you with smiles and December comes in like the May.<\/p>\n

And I know that one day I will go\u00a0 on a ship that will take me away<\/p>\n

From the long, cold Liverpool nights\u00a0 and the long, cold Liverpool days.<\/p>\n
