February 2023 DIAMC prompt was to write a song inspired by a name, which was to be included within the title. 

Yesterday I sat down, wrote and recorded, this song about - and for - my beautiful almost, almost always friend. We met when I was 9 and she was 10. 


Gwendoline

Northern lights watched late, from garage roof
Swung on swings with Walkmans, in our youth
Oh my darlin’, times were simpler then

There’ve been darker days, tears amongst laughter
Can’t stay kids for ever, and after
Oh my darlin’, growing up can hurt bad
 
I just hope that I always had your back

Wish I still took time and wrote more letters
To have and hold, with love from sender
Cos my darlin’, you know I’m really glad

All  these years you’ve been there for me too
The  lovely  things you say,  and that you do
Oh my darlin’, you’re the friend I’ve almost, almost, always had

Through all the good and bad
The happy and the sad
Lucky to have Gwendoline

If you need me darlin’, you just call
You know I’ll catch you if you fall
If you need me darlin’, you just call
You know I’ll catch you if you’re falling

Gwendoline - Demo

Lyrics (Original Song)
Ever since you first found out that I love you
You been adding to the list of things that I must do
And even though I do the best that I am able 
you got me begging for the scraps from your table

I’d rather be a good woman’s dog than to be your man
But I can’t help but jump whenever you command
A good woman’s heart is worth any sacrifice 
But when it comes to you I am a fool to bear this price
But I love you anyways, Lord help me I love you anyways

I don’t know why my tail wags so hard when you get home
I am just an accessory in your purse you post on your phone
Why I don’t I take the first chance to bolt out that front door
And run down the street like you don’t own me any more

I’d rather be a good woman’s dog than to be your man
But I can’t help but jump whenever you command
A good woman’s heart is worth any sacrifice 
But when it comes to you I am a fool to bear this price
But I love you anyways, God help me I love you anyways

Good Woman's Dog

This is a Steve Miller Band classic written by Paul Pena. My arrangement is based on a 1977 live Steve Miller Band recording which I first heard here on SoundCloud.

Lyrics:

(The Mysterious D.)
Rain falls from the light
The vows of the fox burn bright

(Cosmic K.)
Sun shines as the rain falls
Shadowy forest filled with lights
Silently processing forward
In the trees, flashing bright

Foxfire flicks between realities
Lures unwelcome eyes
If they catch you watching,
best atone --
if you are wise

(The Mysterious D.)
In the land of the rising sun, where legends,
myths and magic is spun
There's a tail of a fox bride
who comes with the rain by her side

(Cosmic K.)
Foxfire flicks between realities
Lures unwelcome eyes
If they catch you watching,
best atone --
if you are wise

(Mysterious D.)
In the land of eternal forest
where the love lies deep in root
If the fox groom sees you looking,
You might meet his overbearing tooth
