The result of a challenge to upload whatever I had written and recorded by the end of one day.

Sailor

For Emma on her birthday

A rough little home demo

Lyrics
I'm always walking years ahead
Through structured dreams, imagined steps
The Whistled bells and lights complete
This pictured paradise I see

You tell me that I waste my time
You say the future is not mine to mind
'Pack it up, fold those dreams
Let tomorrow remain unseen'

Just today
Let all the trouble be far away
Be here today
Just today

You go put the kettle on
I'll sing your favourite song
We make something we like
This is all we need

Outside the sunshine is bright
No matter love, turn down the blind
The whole world can stay outside
That will suit me just fine

Today
Let all the trouble be far away
Be here today
Just today


Today

Another quick demo

Lyrics
Remember when you came to me
Reluctant, calm, carefree
This was how we all began
When we were scared to love

Another comes, anothers gone
And each one sang their own song
All beautiful and strong
But we didn't need their love

And I did not sit back to let our city burn
No I would not hold back and watch a fire burn

Love As A Destination
