Send a Sign | Scott Clarke
October 9, 2014

V1:
Last night I looked into the sky
Moon turned to blood before my eyes
And I said, "Father, send another sign
Open up their eyes while there's still time"

V2:
Mid-day, the warm sun on my skin
Sun turned to darkness and the cold came crashing in
And I said, "Father, send another sign
Open up their eyes while there's still time"

Chorus 1:
Send a sign to Your people
Send a sign to the blind
Send a sign to the ones You love
And all those left behind

Send a sign before your coming
Send a sign we all pray
Send a sign as it is written
To precede your awesome Day

V3:
Today quakes are on the rise
Mountains spitting fire in the sky
And I say, "Father, send another sign
Open up their eyes while there's still time”

Chorus 2:
Send a sign to Your people
Send a sign to the blind
Send a sign to the ones you love
And all those left behind

Send a sign before your coming
Send a sign we all pray
Send a sign as it is written
To precede Your awesome Day

Bridge:
This has happened before
A sign in the heavens
A sign in the heavens
This has happened before
I'm Counting the sevens
Counting the sevens

V4:
Mid-week, a virgin clothed in sun
Moon at her feet and in labor with the One
And I say, "Father, thank you for these signs
Open up their eyes if there's still time”

Chorus 3: x2
There's a sign for your people
There's a sign for the blind
There's a sign for the ones You love
And all those left behind

There's a sign before Your coming
There's a sign and it’s today
There's a sign as it is written
And we long for our escape

Outro:
Last night I looked into the sky

One called to be a disciple of the Almighty.
Follower of the Eternal God. The Creator and Master of all things. The Alpha & Omega. He is Coming Back Soon. “Surely I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!

The last band I had played with was "Good Trouble" http://www.myspace.com/goodtroublers, in Dubuque Iowa. Prior, I had played with The Bluff Street Band at the Mississippi Mug, featuring Dave Young on blues harmonica as the house band.

Another project which focused on classic rock in the British Invasion vein, "The Truth About Hippies" worked out many tunes from The Animals, The Troggs, The Beatles, The Who, The Stones, Cream and many more. A fantastic project which was very enjoyable for me.

Previously, I had played with Dreamers Edge, a Christian Rock band based in Cedar Rapids, IA. Performing originals and covers, we played many festivals and opened for recording artists Petra, Apologitex, Jenny Varnideau.

Numerous other bands prior including, BackSpin, Kunsan Sal, and Touton Hall.

"Touton Hall" was a project I had started with some Air Force buddies back in 1983. We quickly found that the material we were doing was in need of another guitar player, and I enlisted the help of my good friend Ric Toole. He and I had played together since our early teens and we meshed well together, especially in Southern Rock. He agreed to join the band and moved from Jacksonville Florida to Fort Walton Beach, where I was stationed. We rehearsed for 9 months straight, daily, without playing a gig. When we played our first night out, many people had wondered where we came from. The band was exceptionally tight. We performed originals as well as covers from Lynyrd Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet, Marshal Tucker, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Def Leperd and Bad Company, to name just a few.

Being very much into music since a very young age, it is not possible for me to list all of my influences. I short list would include the following:

Country Music: Hank Williams, Hank Snow, Roy Acuff, Lefty Frizzell, Johnny Cash, Flatt and Scruggs. Later, Hank Jr. Willie, Waylon, Merle Haggard, and more.

Rock: The Beatles, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Yes, Jethro Tull, Kansas. Marshall Tucker, Jame Taylor, Jim Croce, Pink Floyd. The Eagles

Blues influences include Howling Wolf, Slow Hand, BB King, Freddie King, Albert King, Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy. Robert Johnson, Rolling Stones, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Allman Brothers
