So it seems I was waiting for nothing 
When you closed that door 
On all the dreams 
I had for us 
Lost upon the shore 

Really thought that we could be something
Really thought that you’d be the one
So blinded by the idea of you
Looking back, was all in my mind 

Still look for you in the darkness 
Wish you were, here with me in the light 
From time to time, you cross my mind 
Though we’re, leading different lives 

Today I caught myself dreaming 
Wondering what we could’ve become  
Seems everything I thought of us 
All up and gone

Still look for you in the darkness 
Wish you were, here with me in the light 
From time to time, you cross my mind 
Though we’re, leading different lives 

Still look for you in the darkness 
Wish you were here with me in the light
From time to time, you cross my mind 
Though we’re leading different lives 
From time to time, you cross my mind 
Though we’re leading seperate lives

Church musician, guitarist since I was 15. I worked in the Civil Service, and loved a wonderful lady when I was young.

The tracks on Bells and Leaves and Leaf and Sympathy were recorded mostly in 2021-2022; Oyster Bay I composed in the mid-70s, recorded again in 2025; I wrote the first two verses and fancy guitar intro of I Will Always Love You, Dear in 1980 or '81, finished and recorded the full song in 2021. Tracks on Gloucester Abbey and East Lane were recorded 1967-1969, and my dear comrade Bill Morriss's genius is well shown. My dear brother Nick Thurlow-Brown is usually on the drums on East Lane, and  also on Anthrax from Oi Wot You Lookin' A'; my dear brother Nigel Thurlow wrote Tin Plated Armour and Anthrax, recorded in 1978 and 1981, and he plays the drums on Tin Plated Armour.

Music makes me feel alive, in my spaceship
