Did You Find a Heart of Gold?

Cover of "Passing Afternoon" by Iron & Wine.
Everything in this track is produced by me, there are no samples.

Lyrics:
There are times that walk from you like some passing afternoon
Summer warmed the open window of her honeymoon
And she chose a yard to burn but the ground remembers her
Wooden spoons, her children stir her Bougainvillea blooms

There are things that drift away like our endless, numbered days
Autumn blew the quilt right off the perfect bed she made
And she's chosen to believe in the hymns her mother sings
Sunday pulls its children from their piles of fallen leaves

There are sailing ships that pass all our bodies in the grass
Springtime calls her children 'till she let's them go at last
And she's chosen where to be, though she's lost her wedding ring
Somewhere near her misplaced jar of Bougainvillea seeds

There are things we can't recall, blind as night that finds us all
Winter tucks her children in, her fragile china dolls
But my hands remember hers, rolling 'round the shaded ferns
Naked arms, her secrets still like songs I'd never learned

There are names across the sea, only now I do believe
Sometimes, with the windows closed, she'll sit and think of me
But she'll mend his tattered clothes and they'll kiss as if they know
A baby sleeps in all our bones, so scared to be alone


Passing Afternoon - Iron & Wine (Cover)

Salmo 113:1-3

Desde donde nace el sol hasta donde se pone ha de ser alabado el nombre de Jehová.
¡Aleluya! 
Alabad, siervos de Jehová, 
alabad el nombre de Jehová.
Sea el nombre de Jehová bendito desde ahora 
y por la eternidad.

Psalm 113:3, 1, 2

From the rising of the sun
To the going down of the same,
The Lord's name is to be praised.

(Repeat)

Praise ye the Lord,
Praise Him, O ye servants of the Lord,
Praise the name of the Lord.
Blessed be the name of the Lord
From this time forth, and forevermore.

LYRICS BELOW (click "Show more")
When I wrote this duet, I had Amanda Sanderson's distinctively beautiful voice in mind. The song itself is an outgrowth or continuation of a poetry collection I published a few years ago, "The Book of Arabella."
Both the song and the poems are about a mysterious, otherworldly woman, Arabella, who feels trapped in a marriage, trapped in fact in her human body.
Here's a link to that poetry collection for the curious:

(...and yes, that is actually our cat in the photo on the big clock above the piano)
Instruments used:
All three guitar tracks played on my Gretsch 5622T
plus Fender (Squier) Jaguar SS bass
Angel chorus sung by angels...well, actually Alchemy synth

***Cat on a Clock***
(Words & music by Timothy Walsh)
Verse 1 (Him)
You come softly down the stairs into my waiting arms.
Hand you coffee, touch your hair…it seems that you’re not there.
I don’t say it but I know, on this special day,
your body’s here with me, but you’re a million miles away.
I don’t say it—I don’t want to tell no one—
You’re going nowhere but you’re always on the run.

Verse 2 (Arabella)
Morning comes, I stretch in bed, see the sun come through the blinds.
Hear you in the kitchen there, smell the coffee so divine.
I rub my eyes, decide if I can slide into this day,
or maybe spread my wings and softly fly away.
I don’t know why I’m so restless in this world.
It’s like I’m from some country where I can’t return.

CHORUS:
You’re like a cat upon a clock sleeping in the sun,
whiling away your time on earth until our day is done.
Just like a cat upon a clock dreaming through the day
while the world outside goes on and softly spins away.

Verse 3 (Him)
Twilight comes and I see you in the garden where
the cedars and the pines are your sisters in the sky.
You walk out among the herbs, barefoot on the bricks,
smell the chervil and the thyme that never ask you why.
You’re so lost to me I don’t know what I’ll do.
I’m so in love with every single thing you do.

Verse 4 (Arabella)
Some days I wish that I could go flying through the sky—
spread my wings just like a crow and take off with a sigh.
Somewhere beyond the moon, I think I’ll find my home,
far away from this earth and this house of flesh and bone.
I’m not angry, I just don’t know how to say
I’m a creature not like you in any way.

CHORUS (sung twice)

I know there are thousands of covers out there ...
I covered the song 'Who By Fire' written by Leonard Cohen.
First release by Leonard Cohen in August 1974.

'Who By Fire'

And who by fire
Who by water
Who in the sunshine
Who in the night time
Who by high ordeal
Who by common trial
Who in your merry merry month of may
Who by very slow decay
And who, who shall I say is calling?

And who in her lonely slip
Who by barbiturate
Who in these realms of love
Who by something blunt
And who by avalanche
Who by powder
Who for his greed
Who for his hunger
And who, who shall I say is calling?

And who by brave assent
Who by accident
Who in solitude
Who in this mirror
Who by his lady's command
Who by his own hand
Who in mortal chains
Who in power
And who, who shall I say is calling?

And who by fire
Who by water
Who in the sunshine
Who in the night time
Who by high ordeal
Who by common trial
Who in your merry merry month of may
Who by very slow decay
And who, who shall I say is calling?

Rumours (featuring Jussi Welin)

Would you be in
If l'd to say
Drop back your grin
Come out and play ?

So very naïf
You may say
Indeed, but what if
In a ray

The sun is on his way back, Gee
So please
Good things only

We're getting younger
Every day
Where there's a will
There is a way

So very gentle
You may say
But in a cuddle
And in a ray

The sun found his way back, Gee
So please
Good things only

The sun found his way back, Gee
So please 
Good things only

Would you be in
If l'd to say
Drop back your spleen
And dissaray ?

So very naïf
You may say
Indeed, but what if
In a ray

The sun is on his way back, Gee
So please
Good things only

The sun found his way back, Gee
So please 
Good things only

Good Things Only
