Camden Town and I Should Be Happy - Lyrics

Feel unusual maybe we should get outside some time this week or maybe we should go on scraping the walls

Head's gone weird
Head's gone weird

Feeling derelict, if I was a house I’d be the end of a terrace knocked down leaving my inside walls outwards

Head's gone weird
Head's gone weird
Head's gone weird
Head's gone weird

Camden Town and I should be happy

Strange Part of the Country

Different Sides of Time

You’re not here now
But you are everywhere
In the breeze, in the trees, in the air

You flow through me now
The wind plays on your hair
I hear you call
But you’re not there

Is it the light playing tricks on my mind
Alas, my love, no,
We’re on different sides of time

I lie on your bed
Your pillow cools my head
I hear what you said
And I won’t fear, I won’t fear
‘Cos you are here my love
You are here, you are here

Is it the light playing tricks on my mind
Alas, my love, no,
We’re on different sides of time

Different Sides of Time (TAKE 2)

Original song I started writing this back in 2016. It was one of those songs that I always felt like it was missing something...and years later it really came together. Sometimes it's just about the right timing. I'm thankful of the inspiration from such a beautiful soul(Cherry) Such amazing memories! From meeting at a downtown Austin music venue, flying up to Canada, to walking across a small town bridge. Thanks for listening!:)

For the Rest of your Life

You deserve to walk on diamonds
You deserve to sleep on islands
I don't care how old I get
I'll open every door
Love you more and more
Always keep you warm
And fight through every storm

You...Have me...For the rest of your life, for the rest of your life, for the rest of your life, for the rest of your life

You deserve to fly like ravens
You deserve to touch the heavens
I don't care how old I get
I'll pull out every chair 
Compliment your hair
Always share my food
And love your every mood

You...Have me...For the rest of you life, for the rest of your life, for the rest of your life, for the rest of your life

Tonight I feel so bright
Tonight I feel so bright with you 
So bright with you 
Oh!

And you...Have me, for the rest of, for the rest of you life

You deserve to walk on diamonds
You deserve to sleep on islands
Yes you do

Luna – Waltz in G Minor, Op. 1 No. 2

This is my new single. It’s about accepting life’s challenges, working through them and then using that learning to adapt and survive.  I’ve posted an earlier version here before but it’s remixed and mastered (RCD Audio). 
I hope you enjoy it. Take care.

Lyrics:
My Uncertain Steps 

As a boy, I was scared of the sea
With my family, on a beach in Normandy, 
a French boy told me the ghosts of drowned sailors grab your legs and dragged you down
I wouldn’t go in! 
Too naive and trusting! 

As a teen, I was all over the place! 
Always confused, just didn’t know which way to face
Too many temptations, suggestions and thrills, distracting and wild
Couldn’t think straight 
Couldn’t concentrate! 

It was always their demands and directions 
Had to meet their dreams and expectations 

My uncertain steps
No confidence 
(Trying to find my own way)
My uncertain steps 
At my own pace
(My way) 

My wreckage of a life, with this chaotic love
Constant demands, you can never do enough 
Mix in the bullies, the twisters and those egos too
It pulls you apart
Breaks your heart 

I’m seasoned, I now know this path
One crisis avoided, another starts 

My uncertain steps
More experienced 
(Trying to find my own way)
My uncertain steps
At my own pace 
(My way) 

And now I expect to see the worst
In everyone and everything I know
Just know how it is, but feel I can somehow 
see it through

(outro) 
I’ve got friends (for my uncertain steps)
I’ve lived and learnt (for my uncertain steps)
I’ve got you (for my uncertain steps) 
I’ll get through this (my uncertain steps)

My Uncertain Steps (Single version)

This is the second Cohen song that I have covered, and will always return to his songs for they have much to teach us. He is one of my earliest influences.
