This song is filled with memories, each is a beautiful photograph, and the pain and price we pay sometimes for decisions that are still the right ones.
----


Where was I before our world without shoes
and running dogs and scones and stones
that would tell me we were home
And where was I 
before the wet towels on the burning seats
and all my secret prayers for rain
so we wouldn't have to ski

because I'm stunned 
I can't undo what I've done
my bed's a mess but I'll make it
bet you'll always be 
scribbled all over me


Ice cubes in the boat spray 
dancing on the white lines of a bitumen inferno
River legs fall into bed
and pelicans in portrait pose
So throw me anything you like
just as long as our eyes don't have to meet
When I chose just to love you
Why I never loved you anything like this

That's why 'm stunned
can't undo what I've done
my bed's a mess but I'll make it
bet you'll always be 
scribbled all over me

And now they're waiting at the wharf
with with all the tokens of their good faith
so she'd better make them laugh
this bride in black with the eyes that run away

That's why 'm stunned
and I can't undo what I've done
My bed's a mess but I'll make it 
my truths no mistake
and I'd have missed it 
and I'm stunned
Can't undo what I have done
My bed's a mess but I'll make it
bet you'll always be
scribbled all over me

Could have done without the rain if I'd run
but I'd have never felt the sun.


Stunned - different mix!

You Carry Me Home
written by Elizabeth Geyer/Tony King
from the album The Dream

Like a brand new idea you came from nowhere
Shining your light when I was lost in the dark
You turned me around when I was facing the wrong way
Giving me strength to walk on my own

And you can never look down when you're climbing a mountain
And you can never look up with your mountain to climb
With ice on my fingers I feel myself falter
But with your voice as my sherpa I can reach for the sky

You carry me home from wherever I am
You are my anchor in an angry sea
Turning all of my fears back into my dreams
Like some wonderful alchemy


So I said my goodbyes to the shadows behind me 
And all of the dreams that were never my own
I can fly like a bird that will never be tame
And I no longer feel like a pictureless frame
Chs

You showed me that love has no future or past
And you can't feel the moment 
While you're trying to make it last









You Carry Me Home

You can come out of hiding now, and not be "IT".

Hi! I'm Dan Tharp, a solo acoustic guitar player who plays classical and steel string guitar....but only in my spare time. I don't make a living as a musician.

I've been playing guitar off and on since I was 13/14 but never could bring myself to perform or record because of "stage fright" and that stupid/crazy voice in my head that keeps telling me I'm not good enough to make a living at it.

So, I pay the bills the old fashioned way (with a real job) and play just for fun.
Well I'm in my 40's now and I've been thinking maybe it's time to get over that and start recording and maybe(?) performing again.

I hope you enjoy the music.
If you do, please pass this site along to your friends!
I'd really like as many people as possible to hear it.
I appreciate any feedback anyone has to offer...good or bad.

Later!
Dan
