such a gorgeous song, I love your voice and the lyrics.  can't wait to hear what you do next!

This was recorded in the front room, just me and guitar, couple of years ago. Unfortunately I haven't been able to play in this style for the last 12months due to a wrist injury, hence why my recent songs have been more strummy. 

This is The Rain, cheers!


The Rain

This Mortal Life
Lyrics by Simon Wright
Music and Vocals by Alyssa Womack

{Verse 1)

This mortal life is fragile
Fine-spun as a spider's web
Our hopes and dreams are dangling
By a single woven thread

Don't cut the cord too soon
Just let me watch the flowers bloom
While I...

(Chorus 1)
Wish I could go back in time
And fix all my mistakes
Say sorry for the things I've done
Find love where there was hate

(Verse 2)
I've lived life in denial
Scared of what they might have said
The sands of time keep sifting
Slowly towards my final breath
I can't outrun the dunes
Don't let it end too soon
Oh, I...

(Chorus 2)
Wish I could leap forth in time
To see how things work out
Would what I see inspire me
Or reinforce my  doubts

(Bridge)
This mortal life is fragile
The sands of time keep sifting
But I read,
That our genes appear immortal
They live on though we are dead
Linking countless generations
Through tightly bonded threads

(Chorus 3)
I wish I could preserve this time
A perfect snow globe memory
Embrace the ones who matter most
And bathe in that reverie

(Outro)
This mortal life is fragile
So embrace it while you can
