Feels like today the sky's the limit.  Things are getting better by the minute.  If I was an emoji I'd be a smiley face.

Things Are Looking Up

Part 4 of my "All Hope Is Lost" mini track series.
The world is broken and all hope is lost but still the nomad wanders, into territories unknown he escaped but not without sin, now longing and searching for salvation...

Salvation

The Forgotten

A song about a guy I know

lyrics:

The biggest and baddest of the scumbag namesake
He’s snorting tons of crack cocaine that is probably fake
A wife beater bullet proof vest to protect his fragile pride
A class act hell bent on suicide 

Cocaine  Charlie smokin’ way too much
Cocaine  Charlie stone cold to the touch
Always holding a grudge
Trying to play executioner, jury and judge

Pot’s for losers and meth’s for junkies, so coke’s just right for him
Walk on down his alley way and he’ll tear you limb from limb
There is no one that can stop him except his kryptonite
Marijuana Jonny’s down for the fight

Cocaine Charlie just wants to unwind
Cocaine Charlie sneakin’ up from behind
You’ve got no place to hide
Manning the front to protect his Frankenstein Bride

I wonder how he pays the rent
Cocaine Charlie’s at it again
You know it’s not an accident
That his nose has a huge dent

The only saving grace is his Dad’s inheritance 
You’ll see him on the street trying to trade it in for friends
But there will be no friends to hang out with this time
Cocaine Charlie’s crossed the line

Cocaine Charlie slammin’ lines and beer
Cocaine Charlie thinks that you’re a queer
Don’t you interfere
He’ll beat you with a tire iron if you get near

Cocaine Charlie watching 2 girls 1 cup
Cocaine Charlie can’t get his dick up
Don’t you interrupt
Jerking his thing and he’s just about to erupt

Cocaine Charlie withering to the bone
Cocaine Charlie needs another drug lone
Cocaine Charlie, get the fuck off of this street

Cocaine Charlie

If the cover doesn't already make this plain, let me just say that this is all rather tongue-in-cheek. I've no idea why a Latin cha-cha popped into my head. All I can say is that I probably shouldn't be allowed to write songs on a classical guitar...

Many thanks to @thepannacottaarmy for pitching in with drums, percussion, piano, horns, bass... couldn't have made this without you!

LYRICS

I always told my mama I would be a saint
Live by the word of Christ
Now I’m just a sinner like the other boys
Baby, I’m lost in your eyes

And all it would take is an invitation
I long to hear your reply

Cuando, cuando, cuando mi amor
Cuando, cuando, cuando mi amor
Cuando, cuando, cuando mi amor
Cuando

I saw you from my window on a Summer’s night
Laughing with friends in the square
I worried that the stirrings of my wicked mind
Were as black as the curls of your hair 
But now I am lost as a shipwrecked sailor
Waiting for love to appear

Cuando, cuando, cuando mi amor
Cuando, cuando, cuando mi amor
Cuando, cuando, cuando mi amor
Cuando

But baby, how long must I wait for your love?
Cuando… cuando… cuando…

Today I wrote a letter I addressed to you
Slipped underneath your door
It’s twenty seven pages, give or take a few
I could have written much more

And now I must wait for your invitation
I long to hear your reply

Cuando, cuando, cuando mi amor
Cuando, cuando, cuando mi amor
Cuando, cuando, cuando mi amor
Cuando

Cuando

Darkened

the waves are fallin' over my head
the waves are crashin' over my head
you pull yourself up by the bootstraps
'n collect
take inventory of
what remains

the waves are crashin' over my head
yeah, how I even got out of bed

it's funny how time can cure your deepest ills
it's funny how denial can keep you well

the waves are crashin' over my head
the whitewater leaves you spinnin' down

Belle on flute :)

'Bodies Swaying'

Smooth, Into the groove…
Step by step That is a romance Meet me on that spot tonight Tune by tune That is a romance Hoof by hoof That is the moon dance
Sometimes it’s one ahead and then three to back Then swinging round and returning on another track
And ancient lanters wander across the sky again Singing old songs in a language we’ll never understand And they go…
Meet me under the moon tonight  Let us dance into the morning light I promise I will not step on your toes just swaying bodies in the silver light
Smooth,  Waving in the silver groove
Sometimes it’s one ahead and then three to back then swinging round and returning on another track Into the distance and then out of mind Then slinging round and appearing on the other side
While our bodies swaying to the music And they go…
Meet me under the moon tonight  Let us dance into the morning light Oh, bodies swaying to the music Our bodies swaying to the music
