Your Eyes ~ 2020

Arms Wrapped Around

Often it’s so lonely – even in a pair
When darkness strikes and streets are full of fear
It’s as though love’s gone to ground
And we steel ourselves again
To faces set like masks in silent stare

But even though I’m hollow 
You’ll warm me up inside
With your arms wrapped around, 
With your arms wrapped around

And even though you’re empty
I’ll lift you up tonight
With my arms wrapped around, 
With my arms wrapped around

Yes we’re on the streets tonight – marching with a sign
Cause love is the very thing we’re living for
And when the fight will dissipate
The anarchy has fled
We’ll crawl between the sheets and bolt the door

Yes even though I’m hollow . . . my arms wrapped around

You’re wrapped around me – I’m so glad you’re here 
Squeezing me tighter – I’m never gonna you let go

"Desert of Time"

And every day feels the same like this
And every night feels the same like that
And every time feels the same again


ah ah I feel so lost 
I feel lost 
hey...

And every day I feel the same like you
And every night I feel like nothing is true
And every time, I feel I did this again

ah ah I feel so lost now
I feel lost
hey hey...

And every day feels like this ah
And every night feels like that ah
And every time feels the same again ah

ahh I feel so lost now
I feel lost now
I feel lost 
hey hey..
I feel lost 

And every day feels the same I know ah
And every night feels the same ah right now

I feel so lost now
I feel lost this time oh yeah
so lost
I feel lost 
ah hey 
I feel so lost , I feel lost 
right now

Desert Of Time (Donald Bell And Stina Cråka)

A song for our times based on Tom Petty's I Won't Back Down.
Here we are, in Wales, in another lockdown! The best cure for the blues is, of course, loud guitars :)

We're In Lockdown

Well, we're in lockdown
We can't leave the town
I could take you up to Llandrindnod Wells
But we're all locked down

I'm standing on my ground
Because we're all homebound
Gotta wear a mask, avoid the beer cask
And we're in lockdown
Can't have my friends around

(I won't lock down)
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(I won't lock down)
Hey, we've all gone to ground
And I must lock down

Well, I'll wash my hands
And I can't see no bands
We all miss the pub and the restaurant grub
We can't leave the town
Because we're all homebound
And I must lock down

(I won't lock down)
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(I won't lock down)
Hey, I've just gone to ground
And I am locked down

(I won't lock down)
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(I won't lock down)
Hey, I hate lockdown

(I won't lock down)
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(I won't lock down)
Hey, we've gone to ground
In our Welsh compound

The fine gentlemen at Mastering True Music (formerly FredTracks) sent this track -- and I was delighted to write and sing over it! They always send great, professional tracks made with real instruments. Such a pleasure to work with. And always a challenge to sing over a different style than my own!

Something To Believe    

Give me something to think about 
Give my lonely soul relief 
Just some words I can mull around 
Give me something to believe  

I want more than your company 
Give me something of your heart 
Like a blanket to comfort me 
Like a fire in my arms  

Give me your love 
Give me your hope 
Give me your soul 
Give me something to, something to believe  

Give me your love 
Give me your hope 
Give me your dreams
Give me something to, something to believe  

Give me something to think about 
Give me memories of love
Give me something to think about 
Give me all your tears and blood  

Give me your love 
Give me your hope 
Give me your dreams
Give me something to, something to believe

my fellow companions
we are of one eye seeing/feeling all ways/always
in the mind’s iris

if you wish to sail
approach the ocean
(with your heart open)
approach the ocean
with grace, take your shoes off
