Spinning wheels

Another song for guitar.

Lyrics

The sun's light has faded
But we still, still walk for miles

We walk past rivers under neon lights
The coloured birds in silent flight

Spinning wheels, teenage dreams

Imagine that these streets could speak
What secrets would the stones reveal?
Lovers' secrets, childrens' song
A singing, dancing carnival

The raindrops strike the sheets of lead
The wheels spin softly on the road ahead
The raindrops fall, the lights turn red
The wheels turn slowly over the road ahead

Chariots

This is a short song for guitar.

Here is a MIDI version (i.e. using 'sampled' instruments).

Lyrics

Memories came fast and sudden as we sang
Wonderous it was as we ran out and through the open gates
How far we roamed like chariots we moved across the stone
The chase! On chariots we roamed

The Island

This is a song for acoustic guitar and accordion (or tin whistle).

Here is a MIDI recording.

Lyrics

Petals falling at the feet of old oak trees
By the starlight of the night sky do the lonely figures leave

Let us go, let us fly
to the plains where rivers run wide
