Ha ha!

I’ve just got in after an afternoon in the pub and have read this without having the opportunity to listen to it yet…and it reads beautifully.

I know that we can’t all be this good at lyrics…and I won’t throw my pen in the bin just yet…but you’re such a fab lyricist.

I have to have something inspiring to write about.

A lot of writers have to look for things to write about.

And you “just” write and it’s all there.

You’re a lucky man, @Paul V

I’ll check this out tomorrow, expecting that it will soothe my probable hangover.

I pondered.......should I write an accompaniment or leave this as it is; piano and vocal?
 

"I waited for a ghost to appear.  A dream arose then disappeared like the morning sun".

No one else can banish clouds like you

I waited, but the call didn’t come.
I stood outside the coffee shop then  the rain came down.
Cars drove by like rocket ships; they didn’t have a clue.
No one else can banish clouds like you.

Hope leaves a heavy heart, stranded in the cold. 

I waited for a ghost to appear. 
A dream arose then disappeared like the morning sun.
Tears can speak of many hurts; oftentimes they do.
No one else can banish clouds like you.

Hope leaves a heavy heart, stranded in the cold. 

To look upon a winter scene and not know where it ends.
To live and not exist.
Should one persist?
Hold me.

I waited, but the call didn’t come.
I stood outside the coffee shop then the rain came down.
Cars drove by like rocket ships; they didn’t have a clue.
No one else can banish clouds like you.

@moraamarolaloba,

I often neglect to showcase my guitar playing in favour of the song but I've had a change of heart lately, especially when playing acoustic. 

@kevysc,

I hope that you are well and thank you for dialling into this song. Thank you for noticing that I have devoted some time to this production. Mostly thank you for your warm welcome!

Paul

@MonnoDB,  hello Karen.  I hope that you are well. I'm always unsure about my voice.  I like certain aspects and others, not so much.  I can sing in a really powerful manner but I don't like what I hear so I favour a softer approach. The higher register is my go-to approach though It's not the most natural for me.  Perhaps I should deliberately sing in a lower register to discover what happens. 

Paul

@Jazz101, hello George and thank you for your kind words.

@Elvis Nash thank you so much.  I do devote much attention to the production, guitar, is something that I have rediscovered my passion for lately.  I've been playing for more than 40 years but it's always been secondary to writing. 

Paul

Mora - Sorry about that - the lyrics are in there now.

Hola buenos días @RC James
Beautiful lyrics but... where is the link to the song?
