Madeira Street from Southern Wind by Dean Owens
Dean:
"I sat with my big sister Julie while she took some of her final breaths. I talked and sang to her. It was a very emotional time. Madeira Street was the street in Leith where we grew up and had a very happy childhood. Julie fought a brave battle with cancer, but she ultimately lost that battle and there’s not a day goes by where I don’t think of her"

Lyrics
I look at your picture
That hangs on the wall
Smiling back at me
So beautiful
Before I lost you
To the big c
We didn’t know
How it would be
Let’s go back back to Madeira Street
I’ll always remember
The last words you said
I wonder what happens
I’m not afraid
I guess time will tell
If there’s a heaven or hell
Or just nothing
Nothing at all
Take me back to Madeira Street
The days run away
Like wild horses
Over the hill
