Hi All
This is a song I wrote some years ago
My band Kings of the Quarter mile has injected new life into it
It’s quite a sad tale really complete fiction but with elements of my own life included
See what you think 🤔
Link at the bottom of the page
Long ago and far away
But seems just like yesterday
If I Close my eyes
I can see the place
I first saw your smiling face
Find I start to drift again
Maybe sleep will ease the pain
Of a broken heart And a broken mind
Needed space needed time
CH.
I find myself in Dreamsville
The place where I grew up
The place where I feel safe
Find myself in Dreamsville
Trees I used to climb
Still standing tall today
There in Dreamsville
Across the rocky And over the bridge
They said you won’t make it But I always did
We carved our names and we fooled around
Got home late Without a sound
I make it on up to the top of the stairs
After getting past Pa Asleep in his chair
Laying awake with the radio on
Imagining I was playing the songs
Child is a memory
Wonder if they think of me
And how we said we’d make it big
When the fuses blew at our first gig
They all got married settled down
I just moved from town to town
Pictures I have in my mind
Are the only comfort while I do my time
