A musician's reflections on his troubled past. Many thanks to my good friend Steph Everall for the artwork stephaneverall@gmail.com

lyrics

I stroll down Western Boulevard and breathe the midnight air
The whispering of strangers tell of secrets always shared
The music in my head, it plays a solitary tune
Telling of a man who finds his way to rack and ruin
A story of a fleeting love that ended back in June
A longing for the kind of girl I never really knew

A morning song is playing from the trees at early dawn
To me and just some old stray cat that’s sitting on the lawn
I’m thinkin’ ‘bout a life lived in another place and time
Where I don’t have to sing the same old tune night after night

But if I can find inspiration to tell my
Story in a rhyme if you’ve an ear to lend
I give to you my troubadour’s lament

A second hand mentality will trade the new for old
A trick that bears repeating when you’re further down the road
But a second hand moves quickly, sweeping everything aside
Cos time don’t have a conscience, doesn’t care about your pride
Ask anyone who had a dream that set them on their way
They’ll all have different stories but the endings stays the same
We’ll never get to where we think the road was sure to end
The journey is what matters, so please fare thee well my friend

And if I can find inspiration to tell my
Story in a rhyme if you’ve an ear to lend
I give to you my troubadour’s lament

The early hours of morning seem to wrap me in their shade
Drawing me away from the mistakes that I have made
A full moon has descended now and faded from my view
Memories swirl around my head of things I wish were true
I’m living cheap and easy but my rent is overdue
Its closing time here at the famous old last chance saloon
I think I got here yesterday, I’m guessing around noon
I may just have to leave before too soon

But if I can find inspiration to tell my
Story in a rhyme I hope its time well spent
Cos this is what I do to try and get by
I need a new song that can be my
Story in a rhyme, if you’ve an ear to lend
I really hope u think that it’s been time well spent
I give to you my troubadour’s lament
