Questions I tucked in my boy Kissed him good-night Stood by the doorway turned out the light A small voice in the darkness stopped me in my tracks my son has a question got to go back – and it's where does the light go when you turn off the switch what do I see with my eyes shut why do things grow and what makes the snow why cant I breathe under-water I sat down on his bed thought for a while I scratched my head and said with a smile No-one knows the answers to all of these queries You'll hear some strange stories and fanciful theories - and it's where does the light go when you turn off the switch what do I see with my eyes shut why do things grow and what makes the snow why cant I breathe under-water Allow all these mysteries to be something to see in your mind as you slide into slum – ber Then when you a-wake theres a path you will take - into wonder where does the light go when you turn off the switch what do I see with my eyes shut why do things grow and what makes the snow why cant I breathe under-water https://soundcloud.com/tuigorge

There are just somethings we are not meant to understand. Loved it. Last edited by JosieC; 06/05/14 03:37 AM.

Thanks Guenter. So much to explore . So many toys to play with. Cheers. Jan and Bud. Thanks for the lovely comments.

That's almost the last of the songs from FAWM and I'm looking forward to doing some new ones. Cheers. Thanks Dani for your very generous comments. Cheeers. https://soundcloud.com/tuigorge

Also, someone else mention a different set of questions for each successive chorus. In Folk & Country music, that's not common but also not unusual. They're referred to as an "Evolving Chorus". I've used that technique on at least half a dozen songs I've written in that past few years. But, I digress. That was a wonderful listen ... still have a smile on my face. Great stuff, my friend!

I do 90% of the song in Real Band. Have learned to use only a few of it's features and keep finding new ones. Actually those are questions I've always wondered about. Cheers. Thanks Al. The evolving chorus is such a good idea. Could certainly lead the song to new places. Delighted to give you a smile. Cheers. https://soundcloud.com/tuigorge
