Beautiful song Tom......."something for a dreamer"...love this lyric

Track from upcoming new album to be released in early 2024:

The wind is whipping with the rain
The boat is tipping on the waves
And love is sleeping unafraid

So dance upon the sea
On the waves of Galilee
Look around, what do you see now?

For love is rising up, be still
It's not surprising if you only will

Dance upon the sea
Love says, "take my hand and walk with me"
Yes dance on the waves
And watch the storm clouds roll away

The time is coming, now it's right here
Let go your troubles and all your fear

And dance upon the sea
On the waves of Galilee
Yes dance joyfully, again
Oh dance upon the sea
Take the hand that sets you free
Now dance on the waves
And watch all the storm clouds roll away

Love Is Sleeping

In The Kasbah

Track from an upcoming new album:

Something beneath, something beyond
All that appears but soon is gone
Something that seems like nothing at all
But there's something just the same
That keeps crawling 'round your brain

Oh something for the space in between
The things that you say, the ones that you mean
Something that floats above everything

Something strange but true
Something not so cruel
Something, yes something for a dreamer

Something to turn the world upside down
To scuttle the plans and tarnish the crown
Something, something bigger than you
Ever wanted for your own
As you clamor for the throne

Oh something above, something beyond
The struggles of every vagabond
Something that leaves you up in the air

Yes something strange but true
Something for a fool
Oh something, yes something
Something out of the blue
Something calling you
Something, yes something for a dreamer

Something

Susan says she's seen the signs
And she knows what's coming
Says it's in the rhythm of the times
And we should be running
'Cause when you see a falling star
It's telling you something

For too long now
It's been lurking in the shadows
But look out now
Here it comes

Is she a prophet or a seer?
Does she read the tea leaves?
When she says it's drawing near
I want to see what she sees

For so long now
I've felt a shiver in the shadows
I can't say how
I'm wading in the shallows
But still she calls out
Here it comes

She reads the writing on the wall
I see graffiti
Something wicked this way crawls
Eludes me completely

Been too long now
Sleeping in the shadows
She sings to me now
Is she dancing on the gallows?
Hold on somehow
When it comes

Here It Comes

Here you will find little acoustic pop songs; melancholy, dreamy-folk things. Sometimes some jangly, fuzzy rock tunes or ambient pieces as well. Work-in-progress demos to finished tracks, informal playlists to official album releases. Enjoy.

Something
