Thanks Kuk (another good clip of To Talk to You):
Oh Grandmother, how I miss you
Under the Earth
I wish I was with you
to talk to you
I found somebody
I tried to give myself to
Many times, I wanted to talk to you
If I lay on the earth
could you hear?
If I lay
Mary?
Oh Grandmother
Im so lonely
all my life
If I lay on the earth
could you hear?
If I lay, Mary?
Polly's grandmother passed away in 2003:

If she played The River and then To Talk To You followed by Before Departure they'd have to send in paramedics.
I wish I had saved an old article that mentioned Polly(?) once recalled a live gig when they briefly brought up the house lights after a particularly grueling sequence of songs from the ITD era and essentially the entire audience was seen to have tears streaming down their faces.
