A collaboration, delightful lyrics by Francis Smith, from an old 50/90, finally finished. A song with no particular rhymes. Can't say I miss them.
Hope you enjoy it.

RT - 689 Organ B3
RT - 365 Guitar accoustic

Life Church - Francis Smith and TuiGorge

| A | F#m | B7 | E

| Life church door was | F#m o-pen sounds of | B7 singing coming | E out

| Pavement smelled of | F#m new rain washing | B7 all our sins a | E way

Do I ac | A cept the invi | tation sent to | C#m all to re | B pent

Meet a | A banker in the | morning re | C#m pay the debt I | B owe

| D Then take on some | B more

| E Life church door was | F#m closing they were | B7 leaving going | E home

Flowers | growing all a F#m round it | B7 dancing in the | E wind

| A Needing some for | giveness I | C#m asked them for the | B way

But | A flowers only | talk to those with | C#m pollen to ex | B change

And it | D was too late to | B change

| E Life church door is | F#m locked now chance is | B7 gone to change my | E ways

Thought per | haps I shouldn't F#m call you but I | B7 did it any | E way

Beautiful song. Excellent vocal and what a lovely lyric. The organ was perfect for that backtrack. I think this is my favorite song you have done. Well done.

Good job here, RichMan smile It's a very pretty tune, and I have to agree with Scott in that the vocals are excellent, and lyrics really add to it as well. I found it really easy to close my eyes and get lost to.

Great work, and thanks so much for sharing!


Cheers,
Deryk

This is very very pretty. Can’t say I miss the rhymes either.

Very nice! Never thought about the presence or absence of the rhymes...it just worked.

Those two RT's were spot on for backing the vocal.

Thanks for sharing

Rich,
The beautiful lyric is oddly more interesting for the lack of rhyme and your vocal carries the song`s reflective feel.
Well done!

Robert
