I gave my lyrics to Udio and asked it for some country rock. It came back with this sort of Tex Mex/Bob Dylan Rolling Thunder Review type vibe which took me back to when I was living in Cornwall and growing my own bread... or something. 🤨

Maybe I think about you
More than I should.
She makes you happy
More than I ever could.
She shines like the sun
I’m just damaged goods. 

Nothing needs to be said
It’s best to stay mum. 
Our destiny’s clear
There’s no hope to come,
But I want you to know 
Before this life is done 

I have never ever ever
Met a man just like you,
Over a million lives
And a million miles
That I’ve passed through.

I don’t want you to feel weird
There’s nothing to be done
Our love’s not for this life
Maybe another one 
She is the rose
And I am the thorn
To prick your eyes to tears
Before our first dawn
Over all I’ve seen and been

If we’d both been born
In another time and place
It would have been different
But that’s not our fate. 
You’re at peace with yours
In a land faraway 
What more can I say, but 

I have never ever ever
Met a man just like you,
Over a million lives
Over a million miles
No-one even came close

I have never ever ever
Met a man just like you
Over a million lives
And a million miles
That I’ve passed through

Million Lives

These Two Hands

How I see 
Is it up to me? 
I look to you 
You look at me 
Is it the light 
I see? 
Can I find it in me? 
Miracles are seen 
In the light 
This is a lesson 
To get right 
As I can feel the night 
Move from the right 
Slide to the left 
Could it be 
Something that was said? 
The light and strength 
are one. 
Is it really 
Going to come? 
Or is it here 
Blocked by fear? 
What do I hold dear? 
As I try to seem sincere. 
The light is everywhere 
Seek and you shall find 
Can it be the vision 
Of mine? 
I sit and smell the air 
Look for feeling in here 
Wondering about 
Past my own doubt 
Watching the shifting 
Of the ground 
Where is the amazement 
I once found? 
As I move  
To the light 
Searching for 
The strength 
Letting go 
Of the wrench 
That twists  
With suspense 
See me 
Feel me 
Live through me 
You are not alone 
Remember to  
Return home. 
The light is how 
You atone.

Either Way (Album Version)
