Three Words - Demo

You, you can’t help yourself
You were born to dream
Many childish dreams
Maybe sometimes
You, you can’t help yourself
Life has set you free
And that’s alright with me

All you need’s a wall to lean on
Just the strings on your guitar
The sound of laughter in the distance
A friend who knows how cool you are
The ching of change deep in your pocket
And someone to have faith in you cos

You, you can’t help yourself
You were born to dream
Like a child it seems
Maybe sometimes
You, you can’t help yourself
Life has set you free
And that’s alright with me

Then your thoughts turn to your loved ones
Keep them close enough to care
Try to treasure every moment
Cos they won’t always be there
Gotta keep yourself together
For all those who believe in you cos

You, you can’t help yourself
You were born to dream
Many childish dreams 
In the end my friend
You, you can’t help yourself
Life has set you free
And though I wish you well
You can’t help yourself

YOU CAN'T HELP YOURSELF

"Where'd You Wanna Go Tonight?" by Sam Handy. 

Lyrics: 
I WOULD LIKE TO GO TO CUBA NOW
EVERY DAY THERE’S ALWAYS SOMEWHERE LYING OUT OF BOUNDS
AND BY THE TIME YOU TOLD ME WE WOULD ONLY GET SO FAR
WE WERE RUNNING OUT OF THINGS TO SAY ‘CAUSE THIS IS WHO WE ARE 

AND ALL THOSE PLANS WE HAD ARE ON HOLD TONIGHT
UNTIL THE MORNING 

TELL ME SOMETHING MORE ABOUT YOU 
YOU WOULD SPEND THE WHOLE NIGHT 
ACTING LIKE WE’RE GOOD AT DANCING 
WE WOULD RUN TOWARDS THE CITY LIGHTS
AND ALWAYS END IT IN A FIGHT 
UNTIL THE MORNING 

‘CAUSE FOR TONIGHT 
YOU’RE KEEPING ME ALIVE
SO WHERE’D YOU WANNA GO TONIGHT?

I WISH WE COULD STAY ANOTHER NIGHT (YEAH)
WHEN EVERY LITTLE THING WE HAD SEEMED TO BE RIGHT
MAYBE IT WAS SOMETHING IN THE WAY THAT YOU WERE IN MY MIND 
ALL OF THE TIME
ALL OF THE TIME 

Out now on Spotify and Apple Music.

Came up with this little tune while doodling around. Orchestral version coming soon!

Another Place and Time (improvised piano solo)

And when she’s here it’s not as if the world has just begun
Though something sweet and tender happens to me
And if she’s not, the earth will still be staring at the sun
And all the time her eyes are looking through me

We come, we go
As twilight’s low and mournful shadows fall
As endless ghosts of ages gently call
And one more silent someone sheds a tear for me
We come, we go
I fool myself as all deceivers must
But lies are ever lies and never just
And still I trust
The flicker of the candle that you burn
Will light the way for me when I return

And when it’s clear that yes once more the course of love is done
It only takes a memory to renew me

We come, we go
She with her illusions, me with mine
But stars will often fade before they shine
And ours is not a love of perfect symmetry
We come, we go
The game goes on as dawn becomes the day
And countless nameless strangers lead the way 
But still I pray
The flicker of the candle that you burn
Will light the way for me when I return

WE COME WE GO

Dedicated to Stan - no-one lived life with a more positive outlook
