For One Charlie

Hangin by a thread, i thought of something someone said, then slipped beyond the pale to walk amongst the shadows of the pine.
The southern wind sublime upon my face, the tracks of tears erased, washed clean of any trace.
that leaves me to a tiny possibility of Grace.

A tiny possibility of grace.

Ive been working on this song for some time now. I was hoping to have it come out before thanksgiving. Its a little bit about the future and a little bit about the past.

Lyrics:


Someone told me long ago about a land so far away
 For fortune and for freedom we left out homes for better days.
No one thought that life would come to this though we counted out the cost
Now the simplest necessity is the thing that I miss most

What was lost, what was lost, I often think about the world we lost. What was lost what was lost, I often think about the world we lost

Bitter nights and winter days weigh heavy on my mind
Last time the ice had melted there weren’t many of us alive
Though a simple life and privation has always been my way
When the days grow short and the weeds are tall you got to get on your knees and pray.

Too clever to seize
You'll never believe
Forever you'll freeze
Broken Bridges

Don't try to stake 
Wise guy, you take 
goodbye, forsake 
BB

You may point to fractured beams
Disjointed manufactured schemes
Those that belong declare their plans
Can anyone repair the span of BB

Just don't police
they'll break the peace
You, won't release
BB

Broken Bridges

Nobody’s hanging around
Been looking all over town, for you
Nothing’s popped up on my phone
Should not have left you alone
How could I have known
That you would run away
Oh I listen to my Playlist seems so dark today wish I could make it brighter 
gonna write a happy song
Everyone’s contagious nobody can save us I can make it brighter gonna write a
happy song
Just then a knock at my door
We still haven’t found a cure, you know
But if you where one of these
You can go out to the store
This has become such a bore
I’d rather die than waste away
Oh I listen to my Playlist seems so dark today wish I could make it brighter
 gonna write a happy song
Everyone’s contagious nobody can save us I can make it brighter gonna write a happy song
And you know, it’s not as bad as what they sell us on TV
It’s big business making lies reality
They make it hard to be the best that we can be
a roller coaster fiction ride we’ve got to always question why            
spoon fed soon dead get the fuck out of my head
This has become such a bore
We can no longer ignore
Healthily wasting away
Oh I listen to my Playlist seems so dark today wish
News says everyone’s contagious nobody can save us 
Oh I listen to my Playlist seems so dark today wish I could make it brighter
 gonna write a happy song
News says everyone’s contagious nobody can save us I can make it brighter gonna write a happy song

Wilfried Hanrath - Cool Abberation (STONERJAZZ & AVA), Rework

I like many am shocked and appalled at what is unfolding before us. In the midst of this darkness I salute the people who are opening their hearts and offering assistance to the refugees from this disastrous conflict.

Here are some UK links to appeals providing humanitarian aid. I'm sure each country has equivalent appeals happening now.

Just to see you

Lyrics
Verse 1
One last flight
I think I’ll check my vital signs
Before I strap in for the ride
And in my mind
You’re the fear I cannot hide
When I’m flying across the sky

Refrain 1
Just to see you, Again
Just to see you, Again

Verse 2
Enemy lines
I think I’ll drop my last goodbye
and find my way back to you
I can’t un-see 
All the things you made me be
I’m coming home back to you

Refrain 2
Just to see you, Again
Just to see you, Again

Outro
One last flight
One last flight
And I’ll see you, AGAIN
Just to see you, Again
Just to see you, Again
One last flight, Again
Just to see you, AGAIN
Just to see you, AGAIN

Just to see you (ft. The Gatsbys)
