This is about a place in London called Kiteflyer’s Hill where I used to go and spend hours going “When is he coming back? When is he coming back?” So this is another one dedicated to that guy … who I’ve got over. But this is “Kiteflyer’s Hill.” It’s a beautiful song written by a guy called Martin Evan, actually, for me. Boo Hewerdine, Thomas Dolby, thank you very much for inviting me. It’s been a blessing singing for you. Thank you very much.♫ Do you remember when we used to go ♫♫ up to Kiteflyer’s Hill? ♫♫ Those summer nights, so still ♫♫ with all of the city beneath us ♫♫ and all of our lives ahead ♫♫ before cruel and foolish words ♫♫ were cruelly and foolishly said ♫♫ Some nights I think of you ♫♫ and then I go up ♫♫ on Kiteflyer’s Hill ♫♫ wrapped up against the winter chill ♫♫ And somewhere in the city beneath me ♫♫ you lie asleep in your bed ♫♫ and I wonder if ever just briefly ♫♫ do I creep in your dreams now and then ♫♫ Where are you now?

♫♫ My wild summer love ♫♫ Where are you now? ♫♫ Have the years been kind? ♫♫ And do you think of me sometimes ♫♫ up on Kiteflyer’s Hill? ♫♫ Oh, I pray you one day will ♫♫ We won’t say a word ♫♫ We won’t need them ♫♫ Sometimes silence is best ♫♫ We’ll just stand in the still of the evening ♫♫ and whisper farewell to loneliness ♫♫ Where are you now? ♫♫ My wild summer love ♫♫ Where are you now? ♫♫ Do you think of me sometimes? ♫♫ And do you ever make that climb? ♫♫ Where are you now? ♫♫ My wild summer love ♫♫ Where are you now? ♫♫ Have the years been kind? ♫♫ And do you ever make that climb ♫♫ up on Kiteflyer’s Hill? Kiteflyer’s … ♫♫ [French] ♫♫ Where are you? Where are you now? ♫♫ Where are you now? ♫♫ Kiteflyer’s … ♫

Gracias. Thank you very much.
