Hi Ron,

We loved it! Dusty did a real nice job on the vocal. Really cool song! We listened a couple of times. Just enough music - not too much. Very nice!

On another note - I was stationed with a Ronald W. David when I was stationed in Germany in the early 70's (Einsiedlerhof). You look quite a bit like him. he was the reenlistment NCO - from Georgia. Just wondering!

Alan & Di, so glad you liked this song! Did a later version with SLIGHTLY louder guitars, but the vocals/words/harmonies are so good that I didn't want them to be lost.

So CLOSE on the connection! My last name is Davis, not (quite) David; assuming this was the Army, I worked for the Army for many years; and I'm from Georgia, and my family is still there. But sorry, not him.

Thanks, Greg! Dusty does really kill it...AGAIN. smile

Here are the lyrics:

Life has its ups and downs
And so do our dealings
Sometimes it’s on the ground
Sometimes near the ceiling
Every once in a while
I wake up in the morning
And wonder why we try
We ought to pay more attention to the warning
And try to find out why
(Or we could just turn a blind eye)

Have I ever mentioned
That I really love you?
Give me your attention
Cos I’m thinkin’ of you
Every once in a while
I find myself afraid
I’ll fall for you too hard
But I realize it’s probably way too late
To put myself on guard
(I’m just whistling past the graveyard)

It’s tough to live lonely
Without a constant friend
I thought you were only
A means to find my end
Every once in a while
I go to bed depressed
And feeling kind of blue
It all seems like a novel way for us to test
My affections for you
(We can’t have our cake and eat it too)

Carry me away
And I’ll crawl back for more
Bury me today
I’m feelin’ a bit sore
You know what they say
We’re rotten to the core
You know I can’t stay
So don’t padlock the door
You spend all my pay
But I’m really quite poor
I’ve had a long day
It’s been hard to ignore
Can you meet me half-way
Cos you are what I live for

Ron,

I enjoyed this. Some great lyric rhymes there! I also liked the feel of the groove. I found it very engaging from start to finish.

Thanks, Noel. The lyrics aren't mine, but they are amazing. Among my favorite lines..

Every once in a while
I find myself afraid
I’ll fall for you too hard
But I realize it’s probably way too late
To put myself on guard
(I'm just whistling past the graveyard)

I'll take some small credit for the feel, but Dusty nails the vocals, and his three part harmony on the final verse just takes it to another place altogether.

Really is magical when it all comes together. Glad ya'll enjoyed it!
