Nash Wyatt

Across This Land (Original)

Lyrics by Tony Harris US (listed below)
Vocals, Melody, Music and Mix by Mike Fox UK

GROWING UP IN THE COUNTRY
MUSIC WAS A SWEET MEMORY
WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL IN THE CITY
NEVER TOOK THE TIME TO PARTY

STUDIED HARD IN HIGH SCHOOL
NEVER ANYBODY'S FOOL
MADE GOOD GRADES IN COLLEGE
FILLED HIS HEAD WITH KNOWLEDGE

GRADUATED COLLEGE WITH A DEGREE
TOOK A JOB IN NASHVILLE TENNESSEE
CLIMBIN' THE CORPORATE LADDER
TO HIM..IT WASEN'T THE ANSWER

HE WAS PROUD OF HIS EDUCATION
THE CORPORATE LIFE TAKES DEDICATION
DIDN'T WANT A LIFE FILLED WITH STRIFE
DECIDED TO ABORT THAT KIND OF LIFE

(CHORUS)
PULLED HIS GUITAR OUT OF IT'S CASE
PLAYED SWEET HOME ALABAMA
FOLLOWED BY AMAZING GRACE
THE COUNTRY LIFE WAS CALLIN'
DECIDED TO LEAVE THE RAT RACE
CAUSE, THE COUNTRY LIFE WAS CALLIN'

(GUITAR SOLO)

HE PUT A COUNTRY BAND TOGETHER
NASHVILLE WAS THE PERFECT THEATER
SINGER SONGWRITERS WERE EVERYWHERE
MAY HAVE BEEN CRAZY BUT HE DIDN'T CARE

IT ALL CAME TOGETHER VERY FAST
STARTED PLAYIN' IN THE SOUTH FIRST
WAS GETTING BACK TO HIS COUNTRY ROOTS
AND WEARING HIS WESTERN BOOTS

SOON THEY WERE PLAYIN' THE RIGHT SONGS
AND THE RIGHT CHORDS AT THE RIGHT TIME
HAD A BAND THAT HE COULD TRUST
AND PURCHASED A BRAND NEW BUS

(REPEAT CHORUS 2 TIMES OPTIONAL)

The Country Life Was Callin' - Collaboration by Tony and Mike Fox - Original

Verse 1:
 Sitting here, stars shining bright, Thinking 'bout that summer night, Her laugh echoed through the pines, Oh, where did she go, that girl of mine?
Chorus:
 Where did she go, the love of my life? Left me here, in the quiet night,  memory, like a shadow in the moon's glow, Oh, where did she go? Where did she go?
Verse 2:
 The porch swing creaks, a lonely sound, Her voice used to be my favorite sound, Now it's just me and the fireflies, Wondering why, with tearful eyes.
Chorus:
 Where did she go, the love of my life? Left me here, in the quiet night, memory, like a shadow in the moon's glow, Oh, where did she go? Where did she go?
Bridge:
 The old oak tree, where we carved our names, A reminder of love that never stays the same, I call her name, the wind whispers low, Still I wonder, where did she go?
Chorus:
 Where did she go, the love of my life? Left me here, in the quiet night, memory, like a shadow in the moon's glow, Oh, where did she go? Where did she go?
Outro:
 the love of my life  Left me here, in the quiet night ? memory, like a shadow moon's glow,Oh,  Where did she go? Where did she go Where did she go

Dancing In The Rain

Verse 1)                                     nashwyatt.bandcamp.com/album/your-eyes
I saw you first on a summer day,
Barefoot in the yard, kids at play.
You waved hello, and I froze in place,
There was something in your smile, something in your grace.

(Verse 2)
From my front porch swing, I’d steal a glance,
Wondering’ if I’d ever get the chance.
To walk on over, knock on your door,
But I’d always stop, and I’d wonder some more.

(Chorus)
Across the street, just a stone’s throw away,
A world apart, but close enough to stay.
The way you laugh, the way you shine,
Makes me wish your heart was mine.
Every moment feels bittersweet,
Loving you from across the street.

(Verse 3)
I saw the seasons come and go,
Watched you build a life I’d never know.
Your lights stayed on through the darkest nights,
I’d sit and wonder if you were alright.

(Verse 4)
There were days I swore you looked my way,
Like you had something you wanted to say.
But the years rolled on, and nothing changed,
Two lives apart, forever rearranged.

(Chorus)
Across the street, just a stone’s throw away,
A world apart, but close enough to stay.
The way you love, the way you care,
I’d give anything just to be there.
Every moment feels bittersweet,
Loving you from across the street.

(Bridge)
Then one rainy night, I saw you cry,
Your hands in your hair, tears in your eyes.
I couldn’t stand by, couldn’t just pretend,
So I crossed the street, and that’s where it began.

(Chorus – Extended)
No longer across the street, now I’m by your side,
I’ll hold your hand through the storms and the tide.
The way you laugh, the way you shine,
I’m so glad your heart’s now mine.
What once was distant is now complete,
Love found a way across the street.

(Verse 5)
Now there’s a swing on your porch, and I’m right there,
Two coffee cups, and a love we share.
Neighbors turned lovers, it’s hard to believe,
We built a forever across the street.

(Final Chorus)
Across the street, where the story began,
Just a glimpse and a wave, then I took your hand.
The way you love, the way you stay,
I thank the stars for that rainy day.
What once was distant is now complete,
Our hearts found home across the street.

(Outro)
Yeah, love found me across the street.

Across the street

Jesus is Happy,  /   Master  recording

Verse 1:
She kneels beside the window, hands folded tight in prayer,
Crying ’ out for mercy in the cool night air.
The weight of all her burdens, too heavy now to bear,
She whispers, “Lord, please meet me there.”

Chorus:
Oh, Lord, keep falling  ’ between her tears,
Wash away the sorrow, calm her fears.
Hold her close when the nights feel long,
Fill her heart with faith so strong.
Oh, Lord, keep falling ’ between her tears.

Verse 2:
She’s walked a road of heartache, seen the darkest days,
But still she lifts her voice to You in quiet praise.
She don’t ask for riches, just strength to carry on,
To feel Your grace when hope feels gone.

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:
Like raindrops on the river, let Your love flow deep,
Mend the cracks within her soul, give her rest and peace.
Every tear that falls, Lord, let Your mercy shine,
Remind her she is Yours and You are mine.

Final Chorus:
Oh, Lord, keep falling’  between her tears,
Turn the pain to promise through the years.
Lift her up, let her spirit soar,
Let her feel she’s loved once more.
Oh, Lord, keep falling’ between her tears.

Outro:
She wipes her eyes, the morning’s near,
And whispers, “Thank You, Lord, for being here.”                                                            I went back to  studio

Lord, keep falling  ’ between her tears, //  Master recording

Verse 1
I was lost on a lonesome highway,
Storm clouds rolling’ in real slow.
Felt the weight of the world upon me,
Didn’t know which way to go.

Pre-Chorus
Then a whisper in the trees,
Like a voice so soft and kind.
Through the rustling’ of the leaves,
I heard Him deep inside.

Chorus
I hear God in the wind, calling’ my name,
Through the thunder and the rain, He’s still the same.
When the road gets rough, and I’m feeling’ weak,
His love rushes in, and it carries me.

Verse 2
There were nights when my faith was shaken,
And the dark tried to steal my song.
But the wind wrapped around my spirit,
Said, "My child, you’re not alone."

Pre-Chorus
Then a whisper in the trees,
Like a voice so soft and kind.
Through the rustling’ of the leaves,
I heard Him deep inside.

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge
Oh, the wind may rise, the storm may roar,
But I stand strong, I fear no more.
For in the breeze, I hear Him say,
"I’ve been with you all the way."

Chorus (Big Finish)
I hear God in the wind, calling’ my name,
Through the thunder and the rain, He’s still the same.
When the road gets rough, and I’m feeling’ weak,
His love rushes in, and it carries me.

Outro
So let the wind blow, let the rivers run,
I’ll keep walking’ with the Holy One.
Through every storm, through thick and thin,
I’ll always find my God in the wind.


I hear God in the wind

Verse 1]
I’ve been walking’ this road, feeling’ lost and alone,
With a heart full of questions, and a weight on my soul.
The night feels so heavy, and I can’t see the way,
But I know You’re still with me, so I fall down and pray.

[Chorus]
 Lord, light up the dark, let Your mercy shine bright,
Like a fire in the valley, like the stars in the night.
When the shadows surround me, and I can’t see too far,
Hold me close in Your grace, Lord, light up the dark. 

[Verse 2]
There were times I was wandering’, drifting’ too far,
Chasin’ my own ways, ignoring Your heart.
But Your love never left me, You still called my name,
Now I’m running’ back home through the wind and the rain.

[Chorus]
 Lord, light up the dark, let Your mercy shine bright,
Like a fire in the valley, like the stars in the night.
When the shadows surround me, and I can’t see too far,
Hold me close in Your grace, Lord, light up the dark. 

[Bridge]
Oh, I know there’s a purpose, I know there’s a plan,
Even when I don’t see it, I’ll trust where I stand.
Your love is my lantern, Your word is my spark,
So I’ll keep on believing—You light up the dark.

[Final Chorus]
Lord, light up the dark, let Your mercy shine bright,
Like a fire in the valley, like the stars in the night.
I’ll follow Your footsteps, no matter how far,
With faith in my heart—Lord, light up the dark.

[Outro]
Mumm… I’ll follow You, Lord…
Through the valley, through the storm…
You’re the light in the dark

Lord, light up the dark,

Reflections on like, growing old, a little sad, but I think we all share emotions of good and bad times.

I Don,t Like Tomorrow Today

Tom Adams created this sparkly Country-Blues inspired Gem as an Open Collab offering. Crafted some lyrics, sang along, and then added a little Harp. Always amazed by Tom's Guitar Mastery, and he's created yet another superb tune here. Honored to contribute, and hopefully, lend something to it in some way? Big Thanks to Tom and also Tony Harris - Two of my Longtime 'Cloud Heroes' and Friends. Chuck Aaron and Steve (Spanish Lillies) also created their own Fab takes on this Open Collab Project.

Oh, Wake Me, Darlin’…..
Won’t you gently Shake Me?
When We Get There
You know I won’t Care
Chorus
Steady your hands 
Upon that Wheel
Set your gaze 
......out Ahead
Oh, Find what's Real 
(Before Blue Skies 
......All turn Red)
Bridge
Sunny Day
Faded to Grey
Faded Away
Turned into Night
But, It’s OK………
Just Hold on….
Oh, Yeah.......Hold On Tight
Fly On Doves……
Fly On High!
Down that road, 
We’re feeling so Alone
Burned all our bridges
....in the Rear View
Heading to..... 
Our Soon-to-be-New-Home
But, I’ll be smiling…..
How ‘bout you?

Sunny Beaches Ahead
