lovely song, a pleasure to listen, well done

If I was asked what was my best song it would be this one. Whenever I played this song live I would see tears in most of the men’s eyes. It hit a nerve. It came about when one morning I woke after a dream. It was so real that everywhere I turned I saw her face. Memories can be a curse or a blessing. This song I named ‘Your Memory’.

This song was written in August 2021. The song came to me completely written words included the way you are hearing it. I did have the actual version live the night it came to me. I did post that Live version for a few months. If the response to this is large I will release the live version again. Receiving a song in it’s entirety means I was just the presenter. I won’t change a single word.

Because, I'd Miss My Girl

I wrote this song while in the Navy. I had no girlfriends to cry over back then. I had to get creative and use that imagination I was belittling for possessing by the academics. I will surely amount nothing said the educated one. As they faded into the mist for which like their hollow words vaporized. No bitterness there.

A lullaby for adults.

Lyrics:

Silently, the night sky descends, 
the soft daylight ends, the deep colour blends,
Suddenly, there’s dust in your eyes, 
the day vision dies, night images rise.

Fragments of stories from yesterday’s memories, 
Merge with the dream that escaped with the morning breeze,
Guiding you onward and downward inside of your soul,
Friends will emerge from the depth of your history, 
Faces not seen since the turn of the century,
Take you in hand as you give away all your control. 
 
Easily, you drift from this land, 
your senses expand, no journey is planned,
Presently, a vision begins, 
a fresh fortune spins, new losses and wins.

Future and past lose their order and meaning with 
Thoughts and emotions and spirit careening,
Guiding your soul through a role it might never conceive.
Living with lovers, disciples, and traitors and 
mastering works with inspiring creators,
Finding your way in a world you may never retrieve.

Ooooh…

Quietly, the light brings the dawn, 
a curtain is drawn, you have to move on,
Wearily, the memories subside, sensations abide, 
Some stay by your side.  Oooh.
