Wrote this one back in July, forgot all about it until the other day. Sent it to my Mum, who - with her unfailing and unflinching honesty, took one listen and said: "It's all the same stuff with you, isn't it? The same heartbreak theme, all the time".

Well, what's there to write about? Love songs and social conscience / protest songs, that's all I know.

Anyway, hoping it makes a better impression on you than it did on my good old Mum, here is

If You Were Mine

I've also moved to a new website, dedicated to my songs (haha) ... see what you think, if you have time? :-) Thanks, again, to everyone for listening and for any comments - and, of course, thanks to EVERYONE at PG Music. Miracle workers.

THE LYRICS:

If you were mine
There would be peace in our world,
If you were mine
There'd be no more sad stories to be told,

If you were mine,
There'd be no more prayers to be heard
If you were mine,
Our world would be just perfect ...

If you were mine ... if you were mine.

The world would rage
As usual, around the two of us,
Yet we would age
Together, with no worry to defeat us,

Our love would shine
Across the distance, across all time,
All would be fine
If you were mine ...

***

They fight for faith,
For rules, for dogma and for glory,
It's such a waste of people's lives ...
... It's such a painful story ...

And yet our love would shine
Across the distance, across all time,
All would be fine
If you were mine ... if you were mine ...

James,

HA! Your Mum cracked me up!

Nice tracks. A good write. Vocal is well recorded.
That acoustic solo RT sounds great (maybe just slightly "over-used" playing during most of the song)

Enjoyed.
