inhale the light

my mind made up
no guardian cloud
iron lung inhale
inhale again
rain colors wipe the dust
inhale the light

hole in my shoe
leaking water
trapped in space
down frosty waves
cloud guardian at the gate
inhale the light

every day do what we do
every day today we do

pick me up, damn shame
nobody takes the blame

my mind made up
no guardian cloud
iron lung inhale
inhale again
rain colors wipe the dust
inhale the light

bright sky behind
rain evil dies
a troubled mind
inhale again
stars will be aligned
inhale the light

pick me up, damn shame
nobody takes the blame

my mind made up
no guardian cloud
iron lung inhale
inhale again
rain colors wipe the dust
inhale the light

From humble beginnings playing the trumpet at age 10 and continuing through college, Eugene “Elliott” Ruff-Wagner began performing professionally as a rock and country drummer in 1975, from which you can infer eligibility for the senior discount at IHOP. There have been many original and cover bands along the way in San Jose, California and Albuquerque, New Mexico. These days you might catch him playing the guitar and singing his original songs at the occasional open mic. This is his Soundcloud collection of original songs written over the years and recorded in various settings, including home demos and professional studio recordings. Elliott would like to thank the many other musicians included in these recordings - Chris, Chick, and Candy Marshall; Christine Amber; Robert Berry; Gary Reynolds; Patrick Hickey; Doug Flint; Robyn Mackenzie; and the family pets (on Ol' Yellergrass and Tuna Catserrole).

The New Bones is a Reading based Indie project based out of Ben's converted garage with regular contributions from his sons (Louis and Ollie) and brother (Big Dave)
