Here is a new song. It is a collaboration with Robert Cordrey supplying the lyrics and beautiful vocal by Greg Johnson.

It started out as an instrumental in late December but as I was finishing it, I decided t to send it to Robert to see if it was suitable for lyrics. He sent back a demo with the most beautiful lyrics and vocal. Robert suggested that it maybe more suitable with a female vocal. I thought it would be perfect for Greg and he graciously accepted.

Wonderland

V1

the angel of time
made you a swing a swing
from braids of her dark hair
as she did sing sing
one rope round tomorrow
the other yesterday
between yet to be and might have been
you and I will play

V2

your toes point to the moon
as you ascend ascend
as your eyes close I`ll spin globe
our game won`t end won`t end
kick out your heels
the world wheels a little more
what do you see
as you soar

C

down there Easter Island
isn`t that the London Eye
a patchwork planet
sailing by
now we`re above your castle in the sand
dont you agree
its a wonderland wonderland

V3

the angel of time
made you a swing a swing
from braids of her dark hair
as she did sing sing
kickout your heels
the world wheels a little more
between yet to be and might have been
you and I will soar

C

hold Stonehenge in your hand
don`t miss the northern lights
a patchwork planet
sailing by
now we`re above your castle in the sand
don`t you agree
its a wonderland wonderland
