The Final Wager

Steer me in the right direction and I'll go
And I won't stop until I find
A bridge across the wind, passage through the rain
A workaround to buy us some more time

The final wager
We'll run the table
And love will win at last

Sort me out so I can be the kind of guy
That you would proudly call your own
The stupid things I do will not embarrass you
And you will never be alone

The final wager
We'll run the table
And love will win at last

Wind me up and I will walk the straightest line
A gauntlet of our enemies around
But just one look at me, they'll part like the red sea
And we will walk across the ground

The final wager
We'll run the table
And love will win at last

The Final Wager

Seasons Of Her Soul

Lyrics:

I'm rubbing salt in the wounds
Of ready salty moods
You're doin my head in
It's festering and stewing
Can you please talk without chewing
We're covered in Salt
We're covered in Salt
We're covered in Salt

Salt, salt
Is all that there is
If it hurts sometimes
It's worth it for just one little kiss

Salt, salt
Is all that exists
Seasoning
To make it taste even more exquisite

I go up to my room
Decompress with some choones
Pushing all your buttons
Is making me rotten
Now I'm kicking off my old boots
They're covered in salt
They're covered in salt
They're covered in salt

Salt, salt
Is all that there is
If it hurts sometimes
It's worth it for just one little kiss

Salt, salt
Is all that exists
Seasoning
To make it taste even more exquisite

Old arguments need drafting (and redrafting)
Gonna ignore you half the afternoon (and morning)
And I'm pouring salt before asking (without tasting)
I'd apologise but it's way too soon

And we're covered in 
Salt, salt
Is all that there is
If it hurts sometimes
It's worth it for just one little kiss

Salt, salt
Is all that exists
Seasoning
To make it taste even more exquisite

Salt, Salt, Salt. 

And you shimmer 
While you shine
It's a killer
Every time

And you shiver 
While you shake 
And you pour
Some salt to taste

Don't believe in what it feels to be 
What it feels to be without you
Don't believe in what it feels to be
What it feels to be without you
Don't believe in what it feels to be
What it feels to be without you

Salt

Mostly just me playing about, but there's a bit of Charlie Villiers' guitar in there too, notably giving the outro a little touch of class.

~Lyrics~
We were sitting in your back garden 
Clouds were drifting across the sky 
You turned to me and smiled
I think you had a tear in your eye
And then taking my hand you whispered,
“When I get this high,
I sometimes get the feeling I might be just about to die!”

Then with a shrug of your shoulders 
You told us about the butterflies
That there’s no way of them knowing
That their wings look like eyes
And if you consider the caterpillar
It’ll come as no surprise
Just how very little we all know about our lives

[Chorus]
Baby you kill me, all night long
Baby you’re killing it all night…

Later on that evening
the sun was streaming through the trees
You have to just surrender to life
At moments like these
We were kicking through the fallen leaves
In the pale winter sun
And though I tried to hide it, I always knew this day would come

I recall the very moment 
You didn’t even hesitate
It was written in the heavens
And written all over your face
But the storm is in the distance
The sky is a luminous pink
You can lead me like a horse to water…

[Chorus]
🎸 🤩

Baby You Kill Me

Little Flower

Nothing’s ever easy now

This song was written & recorded on the day that John Prine passed away in April 2020...

Make the snow go
Make the wind blow
Let the spring come
Let the sun show

Give the new sky
Some new sunshine
Give this old world
Some more John Prine

Make the outlaw
Make the front door
Let the lock set
Let the hurt roar

Give the new sky
Some new sunshine
Give this old world
Some more John Prine

Run the border
Run the water
Let the fever break
Let it for her

Give the new sky
Some new sunshine
Give this old world
Some more John Prine

John Prine

She’s looking for solace 
She’s looking for sunshine 
She’s out of seasons 
She’s out of time 
Winter runs its course 
Like an old October horse

He’s only a pony
He’s only a Mustang
He’s a July moonbeam
He’s got his own gang
Summer runs its course
Like a slow October horse

I don’t have an answer
I don’t have an aim
I can’t tell what you need
I know it’s such a shame
Love runs its course
Like a cold October horse
Oh love runs its course
Like a cold October horse

October Horse

This track was recorded in Huntington Station, NY in February 2015...

Hey Radio

This track is from 2018...

All the graves are in the backyard
And people move on there’s no doubt
Now I see the changing of the guard
Separate pathways a different route

No need to wave flags in the air
The stars won’t see them anyway
I sometimes just look up and stare
Still the same sky different day

And it's full speed into the light years
Shift through all the tired dreams
There’s a new moon on the mountain
If I can fly this old machine

Take a bus to New York City 
And see your face in every mile
This old Trailways is a pity
It can run but it can’t fly

And it's full speed into the light years
Shift through all the tired dreams
There’s a new moon on the mountain
If I can fly this old machine

Light Years

This track was written in 2018 and recorded in 2019 in Woodstock, NY.

I walked to Albuquerque 
In the first part of my dream
Following the path you left me
Following the path you left me

I left my home in Woodstock
In the second part of my dream
Following the path you left me
Following the path you left me

Woke up in Albuquerque in the rain
Running horses and falling manes

I walked to Albuquerque 
It was midnight in my dream
Following the path you left me
Following the path you left me

I traced my steps this morning
In the third part of my dream
Following the path you left me
Following the path you left me

Woke up in Albuquerque in the rain
Running horses and falling manes

I walked to Albuquerque 
In the first part of my dream
Following the path you left me
Following the path you left me

I walked to Albuquerque 
In the first part of my dream

Albuquerque
