Lying cold and shrunken
Body red and blue
He once stood tall and handsome
He once stood proud and true
And now he lies there shaking
Lost in another land
Still fighting, waving
His dying hand

We’re all around the bedside 
Holding back the tears
Holding tight his fingers
We’re just helpless children
And he looks like a child
Full of old dreams and fears

Waving to a world he knew
To a sky once blue
Waving to that special girl
He’ll now see in that world
And I’m waving to a man I knew
To a life he lived so true
One last goodbye
Why do loved ones have to die?

All around the casket
We say our final prayer
The cross shining bright
I can tell God cares
I remember seeing
Grandpa’s smiling eyes
As I say goodbye

Goodbye

Lyrics

I saw a stranger in the mist
Across the river nearby 
and I wish that you were on my side
Though we cant be friends ever again

I think about you everyday
The pain not going away
And you'll just make it worse like a on-going curse 

I saw a stranger in the mist
Across the river nearby 
I saw someone that I used to know
And it hurt

But I know
That everything matters to me
And though I shouldn't 
Every part of me cares about you
Even if you won't feel the same

Such was life (Original NEW)

I'm here with you tonight, are we the best that we could find
And I'm trying not to say what's on my mind.
Cause I have always said, what was in my head
But you know sometimes some things are better left unsaid.

I tell you lies; I tell you lies, I tell you sweet little lies
I tell you that you mean the world to me.
You tell me lies, you tell me lies, you tell me sweet little lies
You tell me that I am the man of your dreams

Although I’m sitting next to you, we’re both so far apart
Too far away to fill our empty hearts
We’ve been living for the moment but the moment’s long since past
We’re running on fumes and the passion’s fading fast

We had our day in the sun
We had a lot of fun
I think we’d both agree that we’re close to done
Circumstances change 
And what used to feel so right
We were caught in the hunger then we lost our appetite

I tell you lies; I tell you lies, I tell you sweet little lies, 
I tell you that you mean the world to me.
You tell me lies, you tell me lies, you tell me sweet little lies
You tell me that I am the man of your dreams

I think the time has come for the two of us to pack up and leave it
I can’t take this lying anymore
I can’t take this lying any more

Lies

Ok, here is another (quite danceble) jafftrack.
Smells still kind of old fashioned eh?
I´ll explain it in the comments.

RANGER ROGER RANGER

To celebrate 2000, I took a year off to write songs, novels, plays, and stories - and I've been doing that since. At the end of my first year, I won first prize in the USA Songwriting Contest in the Lyric Category for 'Drum Machines and Beauty Queens.' This led to co-writing songs with many excellent musicians, including those represented in songs posted here. 

More recently, I was one of seven finalists in the Crisis Lyric Category of the 2021 UK Songwriting Contest for 'Lockdown Blues,' and one of nine nominees in the 2021 International Song Awards with 'Didn't the River Know' and 'Blue and Gold.'

For the past two years, I've been collaborating with many talented musicians on Kompoz. I release many of these songs here and compile the best into albums released under Captain Stormfield's Trip on Spotify and other platforms (see links below).
