WAITING FOR THE FLOOD
Words and Music by David Pollon

The black skies
Washing a wall of water over our eyes
Pushing the rivers to their brink, then over

It's a bitter season
A lack of empathy and reason
Pushing the people to their brink, then over

Come out and fight
Collective suicide is our right
They're on the rise

Digging deeper
Digging that same old well
Keep on lying to yourself 'til it swallows you whole

Come out and fight
Collective suicide is our right
They're on the rise

A world on fire
Never thought I'd say I missed the rain
If you can leave you should but I'll wait for the flood...

Waiting  For The Flood

Waiting For The Flood

4 Strings
Words and Music by David Pollon

These 4 strings
Have their stories to tell
Of redemption and loss, too many miles crossed

These 4 strings
With a message of faith that I can't feel
The assurance of hope and things I cannot see

No matter how I try
To bring the sunshine with wood and wire
There's a darker side of loss
Carried by these 4 Strings

These 4 strings
Abandoned, lost then found
Oh, why'd you let her go, her words fading on a postcard

No matter how I try
To bring the sunshine with wood and wire
There's a darker side of loss
Carried by these 4 strings

[solo]

These 4 strings
With a hand-painted map of the world
They're ready for a new start, in my hands and in my heart

No matter how I try
To bring the sunshine with wood and wire
There's a darker side of loss
Carried by these 4 strings

Jolene

I wrote 'Each And Every Day' a few years ago and while it's not autobiographical it contains bits and pieces from my 6 years of travel in the South Pacific, New Zealand and Australia when I was a young man. It's one of many styles of music I write. I think it works solo but a folk/rock version might be better. I hope you like it. The beefy sound of the guitar comes from  my 1954 Martin D28  played with medium gauge strings. I don't even think I can fret that guage anymore. Ouch!!

EACH AND EVERY DAY

Lyrics

Is it true, you don't get a tan
On your finger due to an engagement band
Where you, promised you are gonna marry him
Most people that know me know you
And some of them have asked me if I knew
What you’re doing
As if I’ve been keeping up with you on the weekends

These same people ask why we never ended up
Dating or something close to in love
And I say “That’s funny” But I try not think about
How I think the same thing but not out loud
It’s not really funny but I’m holding on to nothing now
But a right pew viewpoint
Of a girl in her wedding gown

Is it true you’re not gonna wait gonna
have the wedding before winter break and
Come back home to have the ceremony
Most people that know me know you
And some of them have asked me if I knew
You were getting married
I say yeah but it’s still kinda crazy

These same people ask why we never ended up
Dating or something close to in love
And I say “That’s funny” But I try not think about
How I think the same thing but not out loud
It’s not really funny but I’m holding on to nothing now
But a right pew viewpoint
Of a girl in her wedding gown

People have asked me if I'd still want you
I say no but there is burnt fabric at my feet
So I put on a nice pair of slacks and I
Google how to tie a bow tie
The least I could do is look nice

My chest is heavy as I’m holding it together now
From my right pew viewpoint
Of a girl in her wedding gown
