Helplessly Hoping (Demo)

Lyrics translated from a Menelaos Loudemis poem (in Greek originally) and adapted for a Blues song by GPT and the undersigned. 

[Verse 1]
Come close to me, baby, I ain’t the fire,
No, I ain’t the flame that burns you down.
The rivers wash away that fire,
And the cold north winds chase it ‘round.
He ain’t, no he ain’t the fire.

[Chorus]
Come on, come on baby, come close to me!
Let’s hear that song in the summer heat.
I’m no fire, I’m no wind, I’m just a man —
But I’ll love you gentle as the land.
(Choir full: “He’ll love you gentle as the land!”)

[Verse 2]
Come close to me, baby, I ain’t the wind,
No storm’s gonna carry me away.
The mountains stop the restless air,
And the floods take the rage away.
He ain’t, no he ain’t the wind.

[Bridge]
I’m just a drifter, a soul on the road,
Restin’ by that old olive tree.
Listenin’ to the song of the earth,
Waitin’ for you to sit with me.
(Choir hums low, gospel style)

[Chorus]
Come on, come on baby, come close to me!
Let’s hear that song in the summer heat.
I’m no fire, I’m no wind, I’m just a man —
But I’ll love you gentle as the land.

[Outro]
No, I ain’t the fire…
No, I ain’t the wind…
Just a wanderer callin’ your name again.

Come close to me, baby...
