LYRICS:
The king said to the pauper 
How I wish I was like you 
Then I would not have to worry about 
The things a king must do

The pauper smiled and said well
I suppose that must be so
But some would say that being a king
Beats begging in the snow

The king looked to the distance
Said I see your point of view
But you must know that being a king 
Can be a burden too

The pauper nodded gently 
Said, I’m sorry for your pain
But some would rather bear that burden
Than be homeless in the rain

The king said to the pauper
Tell me what are we to do
It seems to me that I could learn
A thing or two from you

The pauper thought a while and said 
It might seem I've nothing to lose
But we might hear a different story 
From a man who has no shoes

The two men bid farewell 
To their different lives returned
And some will ask what happens 
When the page gets turned 

When the stars all realign
What will tomorrow bring
Is the king become a pauper
Or the pauper now a king?

Haunted By Memories .... With Chris Dent

Don’t leave me out in the rain

What have we done, it’s happened again
How did we end up together in this burning bed
a vulnerable moment, a trick of the night
You are a worthy opponent, now i’m too tired to fight

So much depends upon the weather
clouds form so easily
So much depends upon the question
You don;t know what you ask of me..

your bag’s by the door, there’s papers to sign
Things to sort on the floor; what’s yours and what’s mine
we can’t stay together, i say can’t stay apart
When It feels like it’s over, it’s a brand new start

So much depends upon the weather
The storm breaks so easily
It don’t depend upon the answer
I already know that you’re leaving me

In case you change your mind, I’m easy to find
I’ll be frozen in time where you left me behind
I am mostly to blame, and i hate to complain
But it seems like a shame
Don’t leave me out in the rain..
tears on my face, tearing my clothes, calling your name!

So much depended on whether
Hearts break so easily 
nothing depends upon the answer
you’re already leaving me

I mostly complain, and i might be to blame

Don't Leave Me Out In The Rain

Hello and thank you for dropping by.

Thank you very much to everyone who takes the time to listen, like and share my noises. I am extremely grateful. My apologies if I take a little while to respond to those that leave nice comments.

I like listening to music, making simple, tunes when I have time, and generally faffing about in an inefficient manner. Hopefully you might like something on offer here. 

I use a Hinkler Cigar Box guitar (about $30 from Aldi, great fun), a Flying V ukulele, a couple of old keyboards, other bits and bobs, and a Yamaha tenor saxophone.
