Golden Ground (Draft)
02:19
|
|||
|
The silent golden ground
The river bed to silver sound
And autumn leaves
The water waits to receive
The rising and going down
Across the sky when stars surround
To make the tide
Of my blood, to wholly abide
We send our hearts
To remote places
The quiet ways
The faintest traces
But there’s a sound
Like silent thunder
That shakes the ground
With heaven’s plunder

Heart's Exposed
02:52

Morning brings peace of mind
When I wake by her side
Our hearts exposed
We’ll keep the curtains
Firmly closed
Our hearts exposed
You don’t have to feel alone
When you’re with me
For in my heart’s a home
Where you can stay beside me
You say the nicest things to me
And it sets my soul free
Our hearts exposed
Stay by my side tonight
As two entwined
Our hearts exposed
And though we're miles apart
I'll carry you in my heart

Devotion (Draft)
01:35
|

|
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

Undying
02:15
|
|||
|
Fractured hanging suspended
Silence on the outside of it all
I’ve watched the sun set from here
A stillness so cold it surrounds
Out of time and out my mind
Pining with the man in the alley
On nights like this I know
My love for you is undying
My love for you it is undying

The Way You Are
05:20
|
|||
|
Soft and gentle is all that you are
Don’t hear the words that are coming from afar
For I know you better than most people do
Others would crumble having stood in your shoes
The way you are
It helps me
Find the peace
That I need
The way you are
It helps me
To find the peace
That I seek
The bright new beginning lets us live again
To breathe new life into what into what we had
But no matter the changes you remain the same
The way you are takes away my pain
The way you are
It helps me
Find the peace
That I need
The way you are
It helps me
To find the peace
That I seek
I’ve seen the lonely pain in your eyes
This sadness could cost you your dreams in time
Just let us be still now and let time pass us by
The way you are will see you get by
Remember you resolve
And let it guide you
Back to the place
Where you feel
Like yourself good self once again
Coming back to me dear
From deep inside

Warmer Days
03:19
|
|||
|
Pale days await me as I sleep
I thought that they were mine, mine to keep
And frosty windows and icy streets
Another day has come here to repeat
But golden tones in summers cheer today
The cold hands of winter that led me astray
Melt into my past and fade away
Warmer days seem to be here to stay
Riding the cycle rising to descend
And we rise only to descend again
But keep wearing that smile
It suits you so well
This is a place
You can forever dwell

Black is the Colour

Black is the colour of my true love's hair
Her lips are like some roses fair
She has the sweetest smile and the gentlest hands
And I love the ground whereon she stands
I love my love and well she knows;
I love the ground whereon she goes
I wish the day it soon would come
When she and I could be as one
I go the Clyde and I mourn and weep
For satisfied I never can be
I write her a letter, just a few short lines
And suffer death a thousand times
Black is the colour of my true love's hair
Her lips are like some roses fair
She has the sweetest smile and the gentlest hands
And I love the ground whereon she stands

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
