about

One of the blessings with having such a bad memory for lyrics is that when I walk along humming somebody else's songs I invariably end up making up my own words... and occasionally the muse pushes me in the small of my back and I stumble forwards into a new song. This song came from the wonderful song by Duggy Degs called 'Traffic Sound' ... its on bandcamp - check it out, it is a truly great song....... anyway the first two verses of this song were what I was singing along to Duggy's song.......

lyrics

Sleepwell and warm my love

no chords, repeated figures and riffs

No need to thank me
I've never understood
I've never seen the logic
Don't ever think I could

If there's a reason
It's long out of my grasp
I've never heard a question
I've never had to ask

Sleep well and warm my love
Sleep through all the night
Sleep well and warm my love
I'm with you every night
Sleep well and warm my love
Sleep through all the night
Sleep well and warm my love
We'll meet again in light

My mind it wanders
I wonder does yours too
Going round in circles
Coming back to you

Don't say you're sorry
There really is no need
It's not like you ignored me
Or paid my needs no heed

Sleep well and warm my love
Sleep through all the night
Sleep well and warm my love
I'm with you every night
Sleep well and warm my love
Sleep through all the night
Sleep well and warm my love
We'll meet again in light

If you'd never walked this earth
My world would never turn
If I'd never held you close
The lack of touch would burn

My eyes are wide open
My blood pumps in my veins
My arms are just as wide
To welcome you again

Sleep well and warm my love
Sleep through all the night
Sleep well and warm my love
I'm with you every night
Sleep well and warm my love
Sleep through all the night
Sleep well and warm my love
We'll meet again in light

about

the dolphin post Norwich, UK

all the work of someone who really should know better but still can't stop, recorded late at night hence the hushed voices so as not to wake anyone.

instrumental agility is probably described best as 'enthusiasm over accuracy'

Thanks to my label and designers Jupiter's Moon
