My Grandfather loved John Williamson and when he recently passed away, we were looking for a song from John to play at the funeral.
I could remember listening to a CD called Chandelier of Stars and the last song of this album is Flower on the Water.
The lyrics talk about how you would give anything for one more day; to laugh, talk, chat. But all you can do now is to throw a flower on the water. It is absoulutely beautiful and sends me to tears whenever I hear it. A fitting tribute.
