I got a feeling - you’re going somewhere new
I got a feeling - a deeper shade of blue

And I don’t want to let him win
Let him slip right in - and touch you just so
But I got a feeling - you want to go

I got a feeling -that things are moving fast
I got a feeling -that this ain’t gonna last
And like the night destroys the sun
So much is undone -and so much unknown

But I got a feeling -you want to go
Well, my mind racing in overdrive -lonely as an only child
Lord, I know it ain’t pretty -and it ain’t alright
My imagination runs away -consumed by every word you say
I got no proof -no evidence in sight
I -I got a feeling
Watch as the war of wills is waged
You stamp out in a rage
How can I move on?
When I got a feeling I’m not wrong
Well, my mind racing in overdrive -lonely as an only child
Lord, I know it ain’t pretty -and it ain’t alright
My imagination runs away -consumed by every word you say
I got no proof -no evidence in sight
I -I got a feeling
A better man would find a way to say “no”
A stronger man would let go
But this jealous guy inside just can’t let it ride
I still leave the light on
But I got a feeling -you ain’t comin’ home

Lyrics
My Excellent Boy
Goofing in the schoolyard waiting for the bell to ring
Yawning in the classroom but soaking up everything
Brave Apollo can you carry him away, someday return my excellent boy

My excellent boy
Staring out the window waiting for his mom to come home
Growing everyday but he still hates to be alone
And every Sunday he helps Jesus
Blessed are the quiet ones, like my excellent boy

Ooo with loving family and friends
He feels he must pretend
Again and again
My excellent boy

Ooo if he believes in himself
He sings like no one else
But its such a tough sell
To that excellent boy

Listening to The Beatles and Bowie and singing along
Learn a couple chords and trying to write a song
But he struggles with the meaning
Then as now it's so 
He'll never know 
He's an excellent boy   
Such an excellent boy
Where's that excellent boy

My Excellent Boy

"What's a Girl To Do" Written by Patrick Ballantyne

What’s a girl to do?
Dressed in her Sunday best
You pick the Lord’s Day to confess
What did it prove?
What’s a girl to do?

What’s a girl to say?
I’m sorry seems so shallow
Her voice so soft and so low
He’ll have to pay
What’s a girl to say

We slept in separate beds so willingly
This voice inside my head is killing me, chilling me

What’s a girl to do?
Tear down this house divided
She is so undecided
What else is new?
What’s a girl to do


What's a Girl to Do?

A restless willow whips and dances in the wind
And the chill of autumn's in the air
Even if the snow forgives my lack of discipline
There'll be some damage to repair
Fore the harvest comes

Well as a boy I felt the coming of the cold
As if my blood was flowing hot
And still today I feel the change from green to gold
And in its magic I am caught
I am caught in the magic
Fore the harvest comes

I would not lie to you and faithful I will be
For nearly most of every year
But when that willow whips and dances you will see me fight the urge to disappear
Disappear in the magic
Fore the harvest comes

Dominos

If songs were grains of salt, Patrick Ballantyne is the salt shaker. Songs appear to flow from Patrick Ballantyne effortlessly.  A sought after co-writer with cuts on over 10 albums and 2 solo albums of his own, his catalogue is continually expanding. Playing it safe as a lawyer by day, Ballantyne reserves risk-taking for his music. Never content to replicate, Patrick is innovative and experimental. He blends and bends genres, while maintaining an emphasis on melodies and lyrics. His body of work spans multiple genres, yet every song contains a deeply personal and soulful aspect. His latest (sardonically titled) endeavour “Hit-a-month” showcases his “breath-taking range” and enables him to expose his music in an immediate and intimate way.
