This new song is based an old one I had yonks ago. Finally got inspired to finish it and get it out there.
Recorded under a tree somewhere in Alicante, Spain.
***Lyrics***
I'm standing in the dock, 12:30 on the clock, steering through the rocks.
You're a cog in a wheel, a handle on a shield, a deal unsigned unsealed,
I'm the fire in your eyes, the smoke on your clothes,
A knock at the door the size of your nose.
A time spent of again, a time spent over again.
You're a seat on a train, a drop in the rain, a link in a chain,
I'm the stick in your spokes, the butt of your jokes,
The wind in your sails when all else fails.
You've got it coming,
Everything you could possibly need,
You've got it coming,
Everything's falling at your feet.
I'm the tickle in your throat, the tear in your new coat, the letters that you wrote,
You're the blink of an eye the ninth of July,
The holes in my socks, cabin doors locked.
You've got it coming,
Everything you could possibly need,
You've got it coming,
Everything's falling at your feet.

Falling Rain/
Stafford On A Wednesday
I used to meet a friend in town every Wednesday, the day my sleepy hometown would as good as shut down for the afternoon. This song was inspired by several consecutive rainy days wandering around looking for things to do while not getting into too much trouble.
***Lyrics***
I stood on railway bridge,
Throwing stones into the Sow,(a river)
With her picture in my hand,
And my hand in my pocket.
The grey sky had wet the road,
On a Wednesday afternoon,
So I tumbled down the hill,
And saw you.
And you really should believe me,
You, really should understand.
You're bringing it all back to me,
Every Wednesday it's the same,
Can't stop the falling rain,
Can't stop the falling rain.
Whenever I explain,
She doesn't understand,
She won't listen to me,
She cries all the way home.
And then there's nothing I can do,
To stop the English rain,
It tears down on the streets,
Every Wednesday it's the same...
And you really should believe me,
You, really should understand.
You're bringing it all back to me,
Every Wednesday it's the same,
Can't stop the falling rain,
Can't stop the falling rain.

Here's a tune about the sun after all that rain last week.
I used a keyboard for the drum/piano/trumpet sounds,
shakers for the shaking
and hands for the claping.
Recorded and mixed in marvelous mono throughout last week for youtube.
And now, the lyrics;
Red sun, who's your artist?
Cowherd boy sporting blue.
Limitless in beauty,
Now reflected in you.
I've made my decision,
I want inside the honey jar,
go with the real shining,
the sun's just a shadow.
In the dirty mirror,
You don't look half as good,
Still I'm attracted,
I'm 'bout doing half what I should.
I thought I'd come and see you,
I can give you something for your pain,
And when it hits you,
Stand in a shadow of the sun
And with all this happening,
So many years I lived today,
Keep that sun from setting,
There's something more I want to say...
Yeah being here's no picnic,
You think I want it cuz I can't resist,
bask in the new light,
not just a shadow of the sun

This beautiful song is from the Freewheelin' Bob Dylan album, the first of his greats. Although the song was around before this, by rewriting the lyrics and the melody, Dylan made it his own. Here I use his guitar part as the basis of my little arrangment, hope you like it...

My mind's babbling like a fountain on acid,
I'm drowning in foam as it's coming up around
My mind's babbling like a fountain on acid,
I'm drowning in foam as it's coming up around me,
the more I feed it the more it gets hungry,
swinging through branches naked like a monkey.
So Lord have mercy,
my lord have mercy.
One day we'll be there,
in that place where we wanna be,
one day we'll go back there,
that place where we wanna be.
I struggle to roar a faint hallejuah,
wanna make my life my soul an offering to you,
hold a candle to the sun and the sun ain't gaining,
but when I say a prayer I know that you're listening.
You're where I'm going,
you're my goal,
you're my means of getting there.
