As Leaves Fall
01:35
|

|
Seeking out whats true
Being with you
In all your beauty
Your candid, lighthearted
Observations
Your elegance and good grace
As leaves fall
All around
As we will
Lay us down
The golden
Blankets
Of Autumn
Lay us down

The Last One Up
04:23
|
|||
|
I’m the last one up
And the first one down
I’ll wander inside a while
When you were here you’d count the miles
But people come and people go
Which seat will you take to watch your show
Did I succumb to your enigma
Your smile and incredible charisma
And you’ve seen my world for what it is
No place in the trials that are his
And I never wanted to claim you
I need to claim myself fast
Rid myself
And purge my thirst

Old Ways
05:38
|
|||
|
Carving out a space
In a place I'd rather be
In the warmth of sun
My love she waits for me
How deep will new roots go
Take hold or stand rejected
To wither by the night
Old ways are never far behind
Old ways are never far behind
How far will your troubles take you
To weather that storm in your eye
The future is always uncertain
A kingdom will fall one will rise
A whisper from the dark
Echo's these lonely feelings
But I'll watch a new day rise
And task my heart that's healing
I'll show you who I am
Or someone I know I could be
If I walk the staggered path
Or learn to tread lightly
How far will your troubles take you
To weather that storm in your eye
The future is always uncertain
A kingdom will fall one will rise

Thinking back to the day
When we all stood in our own ways
At the edge of the sea
The light danced on everything
Shadows cast on the sand
As the sun sets all around
Peace in our lives
With the coming of the tide
At the foot of an mountain
Do your feet dance to the song
To the tender melodies
Hear the coming of the sun
Where April showers rain
I think of you again
And listening carefully
Your voice floats on the breeze
And stirs up the air
To take me off elsewhere
At the foot of the mountain
Do your feet dance to the song
To the tender melodies
Hear the coming of the sun
This boat built by hand
To take me to distant lands
And I’ll ride by the wave
If you’ll fill up my sail
At the foot of the mountain
Do your feet dance to the song
To the tender melodies
Hear the coming of the sun
Hear the coming of the sun
Hear the coming of the sun

Heart's Song
04:02
|
|||
|
A single flute knows my hearts song
It sends it to the heavens long
Merge with breath
One with dust
Returning to
The source we must
On my own I can breathe alright
My heart will steal the broad daylight
When nighttime comes I’ll close the door
On all that caused me pain before
I walked the streets way back when
The pain in my heart would consume again
And again
and again
and again
and again
and again
An autumn world in your marble eyes
The leaves fall far and near
I’ll be the bird perched on your bough
Hear my song so clear
The music of the turning earth
Moves my mind and heals
My feet move but there ain’t no where
I’d rather be than here
I walked the streets way back when
The pain in my heart would consume again
And again
and again
and again
and again
and again

Dreams in Summer
04:03
|
|||
|
Summer nights in our attic room
We can see above the trees
Evenings spent in good company
Our paths have not long since crossed
Yet we feel like family
Yet we feel like family
I’ll sit with you and you can tell me
Of all thats wonderful
And we are under a burning sky
A summer as in a dream

Our Time

Something new
I saw in you
Helped me be
You let me see
I knew your name
We felt the same
You’re coming through
I can’t wait for you
Until you know the way I feel
All of our time won’t mean nothing
Until I put my mind to rest
All what’s ahead won’t mean nothing
What is lost
Will only cost
If you cling on
And can’t move on
The path will wind
So I’ll take my time
For I was burned
I can only learn
Until you know the way I feel
All of our time won’t mean nothing
Until I put my mind to rest
All what’s ahead won’t mean nothing
So stray off course
Leave you behind
I’ve nothing to seek
But so much to find

Devotion
02:46
|
|||
|
The force that
Moves mountains
Is what does
Draw me to you
I’ll rest in
Your valley
The lowlands
Yield and receive
So empty
So full I feel
Nourished
In fertile fields
Where silence
It rings in my ears
I’ll sit by
clear water
In stillness
I’m closer to you
The bright sun
Will give me my cue
To meet you
In morning dew
So empty
And full I feel
Nourished
In fertile fields
Where silence
It rings in my ears

Happy Drifters
03:53
|
|||
|
Threads of starlight in your eye
I know the graces that you keep inside
The world is waiting for you
But don’t hurry to lose yourself in blue
Don’t hurry to lose yourself in blue
I’ll bloom eternal on your hill
Under your sky the light is holding still
Send your rain on me
Teach me to love in the way you’ll always be
In the way you’ll always be
I love you more than you’ll ever know
We are sounded by one bow
Stars ripen in your mind
We’ll pluck the fruits from the trees so intertwined
We’ll go where the wind will blow
Happy drifters just going with the flow
I love you more than you’ll ever know
We are sounded by one bow
Through love we step outside of time
To sound our unending chime

Jake Metcalfe Trowbridge, UK
I record songs in bedrooms on a single portable mic and minimally apply some post production afterwards. All songs are performed live with an amp on a single channel (guitar and vocals). Most of these songs are in different guitar tunings. I record videos for some of these performances that you can find on YouTube. Thanks for stopping by. ... more
