about

First track to be released from my forthcoming CD-EP "DreamLine"

lyrics

All the snowbirds fly when the sun goes down
There’s a place on the lazy side of town
Voices echo through the mist
You hear that song you can’t resist
I’ll be waiting here with the lost and found

Folded up in the purple glow of night
The sky is dark but the stars are shining bright
When the midnight shadows fall
I hear you walking down the hallway
Just before you step into the light

Moonbeams touch your face
The silent world is turning
Somewhere in outer space
All my ships are burning

And there’s nothing left but dreams in the old house now
I’d turn back the clock but I don’t know how
Leaning over the wishing well
Until the starlight breaks the spell
Nothing left but dreams in the old house now

Moonbeams touch your face
The silent world is turning
Somewhere in outer space
All my ships are burning

Another lonesome cowboy hits the trail
Don’t leave your soul to rot in a poor man’s gaol
Keep your promise for another day
We won’t be riding back this way
There’s no-one left alive to tell the tale
