amazing song. love the lyrics and playing. great work!

So glad I discovered your music. Such a great talent.

something about this one. I find this quite interesting, like a subtle secret.

July 2021, written quite quickly, I’d taken a picture of the blue house and wanted to write a song with that title, simple as that!  Listen with headphones.


Blue House
 

I live in a blue house,
Blue like the day,
Blue like the sky 
With the clouds blown away.

You had a red house,
Red like a fight,
Red with the shouting
In the middle of the night.

I live in a blue house now,
With Love in a Mist
And Glory of the Snow,
I live in a blue house now,
Not blue like the Blues,
But blue as the water’s flow.

I live in a blue house,
Where everything’s cool,
There’s no place for trouble
In my Casa Azul

You live in a red house,
Of chaos and strife,
I couldn’t stay there 
That’s not my life.

LoveIsTheAnswer

As we start upon the journey
We travel with the sun
…until the night does come
Amidst the Saints and sinners
Between the light and dark
…Beware it will turn your heart 

To realise the direction
And stay a steady course
The journey is the quest at the end we’ll find the source 
Nothings ever certain, calm your fear and anger
All I know
Love is the answer

All through the ages
Said in different ways
The questions come in many forms
The answer stays the same
Indecision, confusion turn this world into a game
Flowers turn to the Sun, let nature show the way

To realise the direction
And stay a steady course
The journey is the quest at the end we’ll find the source 
Nothings ever certain, calm your fear and anger
All I know
Love is the answer
Love is the answer 

solo

How can this be possible
Why is this even  happening
Where are we going now…

With every breath we take
And every step we make 
Its a sacred trust
To be, to see, to live 

ah ahh ah…

Awaken to the wonder 
The labyrinth awaits
Journey to the centre
It’s never to late 

To realise the direction
And stay a steady course
The journey is the quest at the end we’ll find the source 
Nothings ever certain, calm your fear and anger 
All I know
Love is the answer
All I know
Love is the answer
Love is the answer

Here we go!

Flight Pattern (With David Dunham, guitar)

Born in the year of the Monkey
Turning my whole world around

Oh Darlin 
Monkey Love

I sing this song for you
From the dark spaces of mine
You always pull me through

Our Song has no words
It's just too complex
But ohh Monkey Love

I just love you

The curves of your back
The strength of your mind
The smoothness of your skin

The fullness of your lips
Puckering    for a kiss

The Brown of your eyes
The tint and the tone

ahhh

Oh Monkey Love
My Monkey Love 

I just love you
❤

Monkey Love

Such a great artist and singer/songwriter.  Real and down to earth
songs that are so relatable.  One of country's greatest.  I love Merle
Haggard and I love this tune.  My thanks to my friend, Lefty Mike,
for his vocals,harp,bass and helping with the recording.  Mike is a 
talented singer/songwriter with great songs on SC.  It would be
a treat to visit his SC page.

LYRICS:
Wake up wake up
The day is going by
The sun may not be here for too long
Wake up wake up
Pull back those blinds
Who knows what will be before the day is gone 

Sun comes up 
Sun goes down
And the years go drifting by
Sun comes up
Sun goes down
One day at a time 

Wake up wake up
A train is coming in
It won’t be long before that whistle blows
Wake up wake up
Stay or get on board
There’s only so much time 
Before it goes

Sun comes up 
Sun goes down
And the years go drifting by
Sun comes up
Sun goes down
One day at a time

Mmmm mmmm ……………….
Sun comes up … Sun goes down
Sun comes up … Sun goes down 
Mmmm mmmm ………………

One Day at a Time

I thought it was time to start writing and recording some new songs, with a view to putting together a new solo album over the winter. For this song I have returned to my nylon string Morris guitar. Hope you like it!
LYRICS:
Sitting…. In my rocking chair
Rollin…….. with the beat
Pickin …..out a tune
Keeping time… tapping my feet

Maybe I’m getting old 
Maybe I’m getting slow 
Maybe things don’t seem like they used to do
Maybe, maybe not…. I don’t know 

Sitting….. in my rocking chair 
Close my eyes and see
All the places I have been
Just rollin … with the beat

Maybe I’m getting old 
Maybe I’m getting slow 
Maybe things don’t seem like they used to do
Maybe, maybe not…. I don’t know

My Rocking Chair

A lament for the demise of institutions that support democracy and the democratic process. I began writing this song in 2016, finished the lyrics in 2020, and find it sadly still relevant today.
