Here's a song about growing older - hope you enjoy. All RT's in BIAB and mixed to a Tascam DP-008. Thanks for listening...

There was a girl with shimmering hair
Sometimes her name escapes me
She was always running through the falling rain
How long would it take her to love me
Slow and easy as a river winds
Those days play out around me
The warm north wind is leaving again
And the days of autumn surround me

Chorus:
Goodbye, Silver Girl, we've come to the end of our world
So long, Silver Girl, I'm glad we gave it a whirl

Silent strangers and early days
A well worn welcome home
The ghost of your love still lingers on
Like a slow burning candle at dawn
Storm warnings and sinking ships
We never heeded with much precision
Finding home sweet home and naming the dog
Those were the big decisions

Chorus: repeat

Two rivers and a summer dance
Someone that I used to know
Now the best days that I can remember
Is when we'd take the long way home
Sometimes there is a voice I hear in my head
Like you're calling from a telephone
And it follows me down the long hallway
So I am not traveling alone

Chorus: repeat

Hi Bob,

I'm sitting here listening on my headphones right at this minute.

The minute your song started playing, I was whisked back to the folk/pop era of the 60s/70s. Then, as your song unfolded, I found myself sitting here with my foot tapping and singing along with the choruses.

Thanks for a great listen!

Hi Bob,

What i like best about your writing is the way you paint your lyrical images without getting overly poetic. That's easier said than done and a huge credit to you as a writer in my opinion. I also think you choose nice melodies.

I'm sending you a PM with some specific comments because I don't want to break etiquette here since you didn't ask for any critique.
