Time is right:

It’s usually a source of immense frustration that it takes me years to finish anything but for this song it actually helped. I started writing this in 2014 whilst shamelessly grumpy and sauntering around in relationship blues. I was about to start a new job and as such thought I was the bees knees and too much of a kingpin for relationships to get in my way. Little did I know. Turns out the relationship was a keeper and the job would take the backseat. I was right however about us “soon to be riding a wave”; safe to say my Ruth and I have been riding it together ever since. 

Lyrics:

About time for a little laughter, soon to be riding a wave. Seems we joke around only when we have to. All I seek is a sense of place, in my heart, in my hope and in my ways. Sure I’d like to spend a little time sitting in the tree tops when the mood is right, time is right. Sure I’d like the feeling of the sun sitting on my love-nest when the mood is right, time is right. I’m out of luck, got any to offer? Asked my friend in the rain. He gave his advice; told me to take shelter. Cause all he seeks is a sense of place, in his heart, in his hope, in his ways. Sure he’d like to spend a little time sitting in the tree tops when the mood is right, time is right. Sure he’d like the feeling of the sun sitting on my love-nest when the mood is right, time is right. And if you catch a glimpse of mine up and away to the trees I’ll climb and when I’m stealing honey from the bees. In my heart in my hope I’ll agree. Yes I like to spend a little time sitting in the tree tops now the mood is right, time is right. Yes I love the feeling of the sun sitting on my love-nest now the mood is right, time is right. (May 2017)
