It's all of us.

It was taken here.

Jimmy.

Jimmy, is this California?

I guess, he just wanted to leave her

in a place where she was happy.

I guess he wanted

to say good-bye.

Jim?

Why don't you take

our boys home, Sam?

We'll talk when we get

back to town.

Come on.

Let's go.

I'm traveling blind

trapped in darkness

Kept tryin' to find

Easy rules to win the game

Goin' round and round

In old disguise

So full of doubt

But I'm turnin' around

'cause now it's my time

I'm standing on the edge

Of tomorrow

Leaving far behind

my yesterdays

Its shadow's disappearing

As mornin' light is nearing

And tomorrow will be more

Than just another day

I've found my way

Playing it safe

for a long time

So afraid

To find the courage

to believe

But with each new day

I find the urge

To face the pain

Now it's time for a change

I swear, it's my turn

I'm standing on the edge

Of tomorrow

Leaving far behind

my yesterdays

Its shadow's disappearing

As mornin' light is nearing

And tomorrow will be more

Than just another day

I've found my way

And now

With a love I can't explain

Somehow

He gave me faith

to find the way

Standing on the edge

Of tomorrow

Leaving far behind

my yesterdays

Its shadow's disappearing

As mornin' light is nearing

And tomorrow will be more

Than just another day

I've found my way

David Chisholm

David Chisholm was a Scottish international rugby union player.He was capped for Scotland fourteen times between 1964-68. He also played for Melrose RFC. He was commonly linked with Alex Hastie, according to Allan Massie: "They played together for Melrose for eleven seasons, in the course of which Chisholm scored more than a thousand points for the club... As a pair their understanding made them more than the sum of two individuals. Did Hastie ever lose Chisholm in any of the thirteen internationals they played together? It was their joint ability to tidy up bad ball and even turn it to advantage that made them the most secure of partnerships. Both tackled better than many wing forwards, and they would have revelled in the modern game... Their record of going ten internationals without defeat is unparalleled."His brother Robin Chisholm was also capped for Scotland. more…
