Hey all.

Been wanting to write a waltz for a while.
With the help of some new Bluegrass RT I did just so.

I asked my wife should I kill off the character in the story and the hard punch
in the arm sorta told me the answer.

So I went ahead and killed him off anyway.

RT is the real hero of this song.

Hope you enjoy.
All comments welcome.

Regards Rob

Here to stay

Around a warm log fire and sparks are ascending.

Dance through the moon light to the milky way.

I hope they may find you and land on a tear drop.

A kiss for my sweet heart at end of the day.

........................................................
Oh my darling how I miss you so.
Im sorry to leave you alone.

And on my return I shall call to your window.

Returned home my darling and Im here to stay.
( Ive returned home my darling to lay in the clay)
........................................................

The red dust is chocking the cattle are moving

A dingo keeps watch from scrub bye the way.

I take from my saddle the photo you gave.

Next time I see you wont know what to say.
*********

I fell from my gelding and lay at the crossing.

Blood stains the photo you gave me that day.

My lips are all parched an my heart beat is failing.

I will miss you my sweet heart on this my last day.

........................................................
Oh my darling how I miss you so.
Im sorry to leave you alone.

And on my return I shall call to your window.

Returned home my darling and Im here to stay.
( Ive returned home my darling to lay in the clay)
