Out of Sight Out of Mind
The Avengers , Music Video – 1969
It would have been a poignant three minutes and 33 seconds for Clive Cockburn as he sat at the grand piano, lip-synching to his vocal and hearing his musical family of the last three years coming to life through the foldback speakers. As the panel operator faded the image on the last note and the studio lights were dimmed to the sound of canned applause, so came down the final curtain on The Avengers.
– Grant Gillanders on Clive Cockburn's final performance for The Avengers, AudioCulture website, 18 February 2018
There's a west winter wind blowing cold across the land, where the warm winds of summer blew before. And I stand at your doorway and I find, that the good times we knew are far behind.
– Lyrics from 'Out of Sight Out of Mind'
