A tribute to Mr. Windel Page

WHEN I WAS JUST A BOY
VISITING MY AUNT'S HOUSE
WOULD FILL MY HEART WITH JOY
I LOVED THAT OLD FARMHOUSE

MR. PAGE AND HIS WIFE
LIVED NEXT DOOR
THEY HAD A GREAT LIFE
WHO COULD ASK FOR MORE

THEY HAD SOMETHING SPECIAL
THAT I'D NEVER SEEN
HE TREATED HER LIKE AN ANGLE
IT WAS LIKE A DREAM

(CHORUS)
YOU COULD SEE THE FAITH IN HIS EYES
AND FEEL THE LOVE IN HIS HEART
HE WAS BAPTIZED IN GOD'S LOVE
YOU KNEW THAT FROM THE START

HE WOULD SING AMAZING GRACE
WITH A BIG SMILE ON HIS FACE
BEING A WORLD WAR II VET
DID HE HONOR THE FLAG? YOU BET

GOSPEL MUSIC WAS IN HIS SOUL
HE LOVED THE LORD AND FAMILY 
WHEN TALKING ABOUT HIS FAITH
HE WAS VERY BOLD

HE LOVED HIS CHURCH FAMILY
NO MATTER WHAT THEIR AGE
WILL FOREVER BE MISSED
REST IN PEACE...MR. PAGE

(REPEAT CHORUS OPTIONAL)

LYRICS
We'd been out dancin'
But I'd been drinkin', I'd been flirting
She'd been laughing, and I'd been cursin'
I don't know why

I've been workin'
She was a mother but I'd been flirting
I wasn't there for her, this wasn't dreaming
And I don't know why

 But she said when we went to bed that night
Things have changed
She said, if you don't love me
You can't touch me (be on your way [in next two choruses])

But now I miss you
I want to kiss you and I aint flirting
We need to go back dancin', romancing
I love you

Chorus
Inst
Verse 3
Chorus

You Can't Touch Me

Haha

I remember some advice my parents said
But I didn't take much notice then
It was to the point and that was the point
It was keep it simple and go ahead 

Keep it simple do it well
Wherever we go in life is swell   CHORUS
Complication is just hell
Keep it in the real world 

Whenever we try to do too much
Just step back from such and such
Get back to basics, back to life
And ditch all that strife 

And keep it simple do it well
Whereever we go in life is swell   CHORUS
Complication is just hell
Keep in the real world 

Just a final note to add
Complex lives are really sad
Think back to when you were young
When you weren't quite so highly strung 

CHORUS

listening to a great soundcloud artist interpreting this made me think to have another look at it and try and sketch my way to finished with a bit more focus...
more twists and turns on the road to finished :)

_________________________________________

when i walked ya home
'cross that little line in the sand
i said 'it don't matter'
you said 'you can't get on my bus'
but i said 'i'll go anywhere, i don't care'

you said ' o well this is strange
but i'd sooner have you
along for the ride'

and as the bus went bobblin'
up that hill
and our eyes met.....
you said 'baby, i'll take you to
the other side'

.

and outside
fireworks and suits
a strange combination
in july
we were walking through the world
didn't even notice
all the colours
passin' by

the world cup was on the tv
italy v brazil
behind your head
but i couldn't con—cen—trat---e
i was blown away
by everything you said

and so you call a taxi
and went into the blue again
i said 'i'll see you again
in the city centre...maybe'
well i thought 'i'm in love'
but i let it slide
too many other people gettin' in between
you and the other side

.

remember you used to carry that bag
that gave away what you were
and you had a different name
(not so irish)
when you came
over here

sometimes i forgot
cause i liked your real name better anyway
remember i'd get restless
just before you went away

so i love you honey
so stay inside
don't go out there
with the 'bombs and the bullets'
baby don't go back
to the other side

but we got caught in between
the orange
and the green
and 'the first thing i'll do when that wall comes down
is look for you'
think i said somethin' like that

and the sun was setting on the rooftops
all the colours
over the east
and west o' town
and i said
'honey! i sure got used to you
hangin' around'
o all those black and blue things
i will confide
so rest your head
and stay with me
and don't go back 
to the other side

the other side (version 2)

Campers  

My parents were campers, we wandered around
We washed in the river and slept on the ground
With a kerosine lantern to see by at night 
And aluminum cups full of Crystal Delight

They’re all gone forever after only awhile
To me it was not about nothing
It was more than a signature style

I gave him a hundred, which was all that I got
I fired her up and I drove off the lot
She was painted by hand, but tipping the scales
Was a sticker that showed my concern for the whales

She’s all gone forever after only awhile
To me she was not about nothing
She was more than a signature style

My mind is in order my soul is inspired
In robe and in sandals I’m simply attired
And I live in this place with these brothers of mine
Where we think, and we pray, and we fast all the time

Till we’re all gone forever after only awhile
To me it is not about nothing
It’s more than a signature style

Jesus Is Coming Back Again # 15, Gene Jumper, ( Original )

jesus is coming back again

I admire Beethoven. Borrowed the chorus melody from one of his greatest piano pieces.
Hope you enjoy it.

Pathetic Variation

Look at a U.S. map, and draw a straight line from Natchez, Mississippi to Richmond, Virginia.  Then cross it with another line from Savannah, Georgia to Memphis, Tennessee.  Next draw a circle around the outside tips of each line.        The area you've encircled is the subject of this song.
     There is so much spectacular beauty in this world, but I just have never found another place that can compare to a thick old-growth Appalachian forest or the rolling hardwood and pine hills of central Alabama or middle Tennessee.
      I grew up there but don't get to go back often enough.
      The song's title White Spangled Hills is reference to the dogwood tree, which grows wild throughout the area, coloring the wooded hillsides with its white blooms for a month or so in early Spring.
