SONG NOTES AND LYRICS: 
It's nice to be recording again with a view to completing my 5th Solo album over the next few months. I decided to go with just guitar and vocals for this song, which I think best reflects the lyrics. For those interested in how I record my acoustic guitar, I have used a slightly different technique for this song, using a blend of stereo small diaphragm microphones, together with Direct Input from my Taylor electro-acoustic guitar, played through a mixer into my audio interface. Hope you like it.

LYRICS:
I watch the dawn approaching 
The earth beneath my feet 
Spins in all it’s silence 
To the sound ….. of my heart beat

And over the horizon
These colours fill the skies 
I breathe in this morning air
Thankful for my eyes 

For I am but a fellow traveller
As we circle round the sun
For all this life we ever know 
We travel all as one

I watch the dusk approaching
The earth beneath my feet 
Spins into the moonlight 
To the sound ….of my heart beat

And I gaze up in wonder 
Beyond these starlit skies 
I breathe in this cool night air
Thankful for my eyes 

For I am but a fellow traveller
As we circle round the sun
For all this life we ever know 
We travel all as one

The Sound of My Heart Beat

Lost Mist - Edit (from Wolfweeds)

Bit of an odd patchwork this one… 

Some lyrics...

My love the times we had
looking back
in a flash
it's over
Blink, and you'll miss it

Remember when they were little kids
on our hips reminisce
and it's gone now
and you miss it

it's just another modest moment passing

There it goes
it's gone already
it's all given and taken

Here it comes
are you ready?
take it come what may

Wouldn't even change a single day
I wouldn't have it any other way

Where Did The Time Go? (Synth Noodlings!)

When i heard this beautiful and wonderful instrumental, the lyrics came out of nothing... like they were already written and waiting to be harvested.
 The Bird Inside has his own SCpage with neoclassic gems and pearls!

Summer Fools

Two fools, you and me,
Summer fools
We believed
Summer love
We believe
That the summer
will last a lifetime
endlessly

Summer fools, you and me
Like a split second
Can last an eternity

The sunrays warm our face,
Seawaves washing up and down,
This paradise this place
It feels like time erased every trace of summer love

el tiempo borrará todo rastro de amor de verano

summer fools (collab: The Bird Inside)

A bizarre prog-punk-psych-blues groove fest. Mad time signatures, a bit of dropped D, idiosyncratic vocals.
