# Lyrics

Feeling cold on the inside there’s nothing left to bloom
Fallen seeds laying dormant and closed
There’s a still on the outside, can’t stir the air to blow
A deafening silence takes hold

But I know
Sure as tides will turn, the sun will rise and shine
The flowers will grow, to bloom in their own time

In an ocean of wonder I stay firmly on the shore
The waves washing further away
Breaking clouds in the distance but still no sun will shine
The dusk to darkness gives way

But I know
Sure as moonlight rises, tides turn to the shore
When clouds do part they’ll show what’s hidden

But I’ll stay warm
Keep weathering this storm
Look on ahead
Await my time to come

But I know
Sure as tides will turn the sun will rise and shine
The flowers will grow, to bloom in their own time
Sure as moonlight rises, tides turn to the shore
When clouds do part they’ll show what’s hidden

Weathering this Storm

Chorus

Blessing in disguise

Not anything expected 

But it's a 

Welcome surprise 

To have everything turned 

Upsidedown

And inside out

But in the end

You're right where 

You need to be



Blessing in Disguise

Blessing In Disguise

'Electromonk Body Swerves The Monkey' Electromonk has reappeared and thought better of tangling with the monkey. So made a Fusion track instead and feels better for it.

Electromonk Body Swerves The Monkey

Its a culture that I wouldn't dare dismiss
I wear the glass like a crown (like a clown)
Just a few sips on a trip to heavenly bliss
Ok I'm fun to be around

CHORUS
See me swagger, see smile, see me sway
I've drunk more beers than Bob
Think I'm staggering
Can no longer play
I've drunk more beers than Bob

This is legal
This is definitely allowed
I'm not breaking my own laws (I'm appalled)
A little medicine to try and entice the crowd
I'm open with my own flaws

CHORUS

This is one thing you can never take from me
However poorly I become 

CHORUS

More Beer Than Bob

Magician original composition as tribute to Andy Fletcher of Depeche Mode RIP

Depeched Modes

My AcoustaTronic abbreviated take on another Dylan Classic Tune. I only included Verses 1-5, because like so many Dylan songs, the Original was quite lengthy. Featured on Dylan's masterful 'Blood On The Tracks' Album - 1975. Written during a creative period of his separation and divorce from first wife, Sara. The title may have been taken from a lyric in Creedence Clearwater Revival’s seminal 1970 hit, “Who’ll Stop The Rain.”
Shelter From The Storm
Original Song and Lyrics - Bob Dylan
'Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood
When blackness was a virtue the road was full of mud
I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form
Come in, she said
I'll give ya shelter from the storm
And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured
I'll always do my best for her, on that I give my word
In a world of steel-eyed death, and men who are fighting to be warm
Come in, she said
I'll give ya shelter from the storm
Not a word was spoke between us, there was little risk involved
Everything up to that point had been left unresolved
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm
Come in, she said
I'll give ya shelter from the storm
I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail
Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail
Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn
Come in, she said
I'll give ya shelter from the storm
Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' there
With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns
Come in, she said
I'll give ya shelter from the storm
Now there's a wall between us, somethin' there's been lost
I took too much for granted, I got my signals crossed
Just to think that it all began on an uneventful morn
Come in, she said
I'll give ya shelter from the storm
Well, the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount
But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts
And the one-eyed undertaker, he blows a futile horn
Come in, she said
I'll give ya shelter from the storm
I've heard newborn babies wailin' like a mournin' dove
And old men with broken teeth stranded without love
Do I understand your question, man, is it hopeless and forlorn
Come in, she said
I'll give ya shelter from the storm
In a little hilltop village, they gambled for my clothes
I bargained for salvation and she gave me a lethal dose
I offered up my innocence I got repaid with scorn
Come in, she said
I'll give ya shelter from the storm
Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line
Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
Come in, she said
I'll give ya shelter from the storm

Shelter From The Storm - AcoustaTronic

Shelter From The Storm

Prolific musician, author, photographer and oddity.  With influences ranging from the lofi pop of Guided by Voices, the gothic melodrama of Nick Cave, the glam of Bowie and the nakedness of Iggy Pop - this is Marc Freak.  Former frontman of Freak Circus and Dead Joe.  An experiment in DIY and lofi.  The odd bum note here, the even odder bum note there.  But with art do we care?
