about

Having just obtained Spitfire Audio's BBC Symphony orchestra free software I wanted to write a song upon which to use it. This is it.

lyrics

UPON MY MIND

VS 1
I HEAR YOU CALLING FROM THE CORNERS OF MY DARKEST NIGHTS
HOW CAN A FEELING I CAN’T SEE OR TOUCH TRULY HURT SO MUCH?
HOW DOES A MEMORY OF YOUR FINGERTIPS BRUSH ITSELF ACROSS MY LIPS?
AND CATCH ME WITH MY GUARD DOWN ON THE FLOOR
AS YOUR GHOST WALKS THROUGH MY DOOR

VS 2
WHY DOES THE MORNING TAKE SO LONG TO BRING THE LIGHT?
HOW MANY HOURS MUST I LIE HERE ALL ALONE
SOMETIMES I SWEAR I CAN FEEL YOUR BODY IN MY ARMS
BUT YOU ARE LOST SOMEWHERE THAT I DON’T KNOW
AND I JUST CAN’ T LET YOU GO

BRIDGE
SOMETIMES I SEE YOUR FACE IN A CROWD
I HAVE TO STOP MYSELF FROM CALLING OUT LOUD
SOMETIMES I HEAR YOUR VOICE
AND I TURN AROUND TO SEE SOMEONE WHO ISN’T YOU NO SHE’S NEVER YOU

CHORUS
NOW I JUST SPEND MY TIME WITH YOU UPON MY MIND
AND HOWEVER I TRY I JUST CAN’T LEAVE YOU BEHIND
WHY CAN’T I LIVE WITH YOUR MEMORY
EVERYONE KNOWS YOU’RE NOT HERE WITH ME
I MISS YOU SO, I CAN’T LET YOU GO WHY DO YOU KEEP HAUNTING ME?
CAN’T YOU JUST LEAVE ME BE?

Over the years I've been lucky to have worked with some great players. I started writing songs in the 70s but not seriously until a few years ago. I write to please myself but if anyone likes anything that they hear here - that's a bonus. ... more
