Come April  				c. 2020 by M. A. Manetz

V1
On these four gray walls I've painted her picture with my mind.
Holdin' her in my dreams the only comfort I can find.
One more lonely winter in this cold and lonely place.
The only thing that's kept me sane is the memory of her face.

Chorus
Come April, I'll make it better,
Come April, it'll be so fine.
Come April, I'll make it up to her,
Come April, she'll be mine.

V2
Six months in this prison, six months till I'm free,
Six months since her last letter, does she still care for me?
My brother came to see me, said she's movin' to L.A.,
I tell myself come April, I'll find a way to make her stay.

Chorus

Bridge
Am I a fool to think that she would ever wait for me?
I don't blame her for leavin', but yet I still believe...

Chorus

Come April

No Fear - Eclectronix Remix

Inspired by M. John Harrison's Course of the Heart and the film A Dark Song.

First comes the rose and then the salt lines
I'll speak an angel's name; Raphael, Gabriel, Michael and Uriel
Asteraceae compositae, lay a bed of tree bark
A rose cross concealed, lay a leaf on a ram's horn

Next the carved rhymes which lead to a pause
From the darkness to the light
What was silent now is sound

Slowly light a ring of eight white candles
Hand clap to each point
Cinnamon on the floor, that sweet money spice
Relight the palo santo
Cast out with smoke
Cast out by command

Silence the conscious mind's derisive monologue of doubt
All the while keep breathing
What was hidden has been found

Another new track from the album "Was This Written"
enjoy :)

Another decade gone
I have to admit, it’s been my favourite one
We've had ups and downs
We’ve been thrown around in a cyclone as we’ve grown
And we’ve chased our tails
Searching for the next junction in the road
But it’s all felt like it’s been part of a plan
For what’s about to unfold

This is our time, this is our time
This is our time, this is our time right now
This is our time, this is our time
This is our time, this is our time right now

You see we’ve knuckled down
We've grafted our fingers to the bone
We've put in the time, mastered the patients
Now let's go

This is our time, this is our time
This is our time, this is our time right now
This is our time, this is our time
This is our time, this is our time right now
This is our time, this is our time
This is our time, this is our time right now
This is our time, this is our time
This is our time, this is our time right now

And it feels so right
Like it was written in the stars for us
To grit our teeth and bide our time
And I feel so alive
Like I’ve got magic in my soul tonight
So buckle up and hold on tight

This is our time, this is our time
This is our time, this is our time right now
This is our time, this is our time
This is our time, this is our time right now
This is our time, this is our time
This is our time, this is our time right now
This is our time, this is our time
This is our time, this is our time right now
This is our time, this is our time
This is our time, this is our time right now
This is our time, this is our time
This is our time, this is our time right now
This is our time, this is our time
This is our time, this is our time right now
This is our time, this is our time
This is our time, this is our time right now

Our Time

Distorted Bamboo Flutes' riff carrying through a swampy jazz funk thing with various noises off. Feeling the heat.

Mangrove Groove

two chaos children collide 
again as fate provides  

to protect this fish
to raise the flood

slipping into new lakes 
happiest mud 

tuning without knowledge
the rhythmic sapiophone

together known 
in sonic bombast shown

protect this fish

I find the work Thomas Telford amazing.  He was a fantastic civil engineer.  I wanted to write a song to honor him and his work.

After completing this song, I was disappointed.  I felt the lyrics were more like a history book than an interesting story in song.  He deserves some better lyrics. 

I like the harmonies and feel of the song.   I ended the last verse with an excerpt from some of his poetry.  You can find the complete poem after the lyrics and references.

This song is in 5/4 time.  The emphasis is on the 1 and the 4 throughout the song.  
Thomas Telford

Verse 1:
In the mid 1700 
He came to us
From Eskdale	
Raised in poverty without a father
Apprenticed to a stonemason at 14

Chorus 1:
It all started
In Glendinning
Raised in poverty
Without a father

Verse 2:
Warned of the collapse of St. Chad’s roof in Shrewsbury
3 days later it fell
William Pulteney was a fine patron
Designed and constructed the Ellesmere Canal

Chorus 2:
Began civil engineering
On a bridge
Over the River Esk
Then moved to Edinburgh


Bridge:
Thomas Telford, Thomas Telford, Thomas Telford, Thomas Telford (Panning Left to Right)
Colossus of Roads, Colossus of Roads (Panning Right to Left)

Verse 3:
A bachelor for life
Loved poetry
LAD in the sable weeds of woe,
The Scottish genius mourns,
As o'er your tomb her sorrows flow,

Chorus 3:
The colossus of Roads
Moved to London
Buried in Westminster Abbey

Outro:
Thomas Telford, Civil Engineer


Unused Lyrical Ideas:
In the rural parish of Westerkirk, in Eskdale, Dumfriesshire
The Menai Suspension Bridge Completed in 1826

Did great work on the Menai Suspension Bridge
The longest suspension bridge of its time
Wrought Iron and Stone construction
Between the Island of Anglesey and the Mainland of Wales
Then Edinburgh and London were his home
Did great work on the Menai Suspension Bridge
Then Edinburgh and London were his home
Developed a simple T shaped plan for 32 churches around the Scottish highlands
Buried in the nave of Westminster Abbey
A statue at St. Andrew’s Chapel
Loved his Eskdale

Poem by Thomas Telford
On reading an account of the death of ROBERT BURNS, the SCOT POET

LAD in the sable weeds of woe,
The Scottish genius mourns,
As o'er your tomb her sorrows flow,
The "narrow house" of Burns.'

Each laurel round his humble urn,
She strews with pious care,
And by soft airs to distance borne,
These accents strike the ear.

Farewell my lov'd, my favourite child,
A mother's pride farewell!
The muses on thy cradle smiled,
Ah! now they ring thy knell.

---- ten verses and then ----

And round the tomb the plough shall pass,
And yellow autumn smile;
And village maids shall seek the place,
To crown thy hallowed pile.

While yearly comes the opening spring,
While autumn wan returns ;
Each rural voice shall grateful sing,
And SCOTLAND boasts of BURNS.

Thomas Telford
