about

'Tis a wondrous thing how life unfolds. There I was wondering what I was going to do for the next few DOTMs when I had the idea to break open all the old CDs I had posted to myself just after I wrote them

It was what we did back then to prove ownership of a song, sign and tape the seals of an envelope then send it to ourselves by the old registered post and put it away in a box, thus proving date of creation

I looked at all these envelopes and realised half of them had come out on albums or had fallen by the wayside so I decided to start ripping them open and giving them a play

When you write a song the first version is often different, as repeated playing both live and on record changes the song often without you realising it

This is the earliest version of this song in existence and I actually think it's better than the version that I put down 2 years later on 'Light of the Dawn' so please listen and enjoy

lyrics

she came to me

Tuning Open B Strings(6-1) EABF#BE No Capo Key B

she came to me in a dream last night
face so still and ghostly white
and talked to me like i was still her lover
she called me to her cold embrace
heartfelt longing on her face
and said “how could you leave me for another”

she said, “you once did promise me
true love for eternity
a love to stand the test of time unshaken
but you did leave me on my own
broken on your heart of stone
to wander through this silent world forsaken”

I cannot change what i have done
I cannot stop what has begun
I cannot do right by two
when love has died in one

she came to me in a dream last night
face so still and ghostly white
and whispered “come, let us always be together
for time will steal your youth away
while i forever young will stay
come walk with me this shadow land forever”
