We raised a glass to another life we spoke of time and places Another rhyme another line The years were past not wasted But the fears came free Do you think of me Ten years you’ll see What we’ll do when the drink runs dry tonight I saw you in broken dreams Blinded choked and wasted The paper thinned a whispered hymn I don’t see you when I wake up But the fears came free Do you think of me Ten years you’ll see What we’ll do when the drink runs dry tonight But the fears came Free Do you think of me But the fears came Free Did you think of me But the fears came free, Did you think of me Ten years you’ll see, What we’ll do when the drink runs dry And the fears came free, Did you think of me What we’ll do when the drink runs dry tonight

Make time for the wishing man Coz he bought her to me On a road less travelled Far from the sea Beware of the people there Coz they’ll laugh at your style On a road less travelled Far from me And I’m fading away And I’m fading away Make time for the hopeful man Coz he closed the door On a road less travelled Far from the shore Where I’m fading away And I’m fading away And she is fading away

Running Free 03:59
Well I’ve been walking down at the side of the road My feet so sore from the souls that I’ve sold I’ve been high so long I don’t know what’s the truth I’m running free And the women danced and the people they did cry But I didn’t care what they thought anyhow I’ve been high so long I don’t know what’s the truth Take me away from here, take me away from here now, take me away from here Where my love has gone Where my faith has gone Where’s my freedom’s gone It’s gone away And I’m running hard coz this town is on my back I took their cash all I wanna do is laugh I've been high so long I don't know what’s the truth Take me away from here, take me away from here now, take me away from here Where my love has gone Where my freedom’s gone Where my faith has gone It’s gone away Where my love has gone Where my faith has gone Where this town has gone It’s gone away Away

about

On a grey, but warm late August afternoon, I stepped into ROFL Audio Recording Studio’s in Nottingham. I wanted a record that would be a starting block, something raw, but balanced. With David Stanley at the helm I recorded a three track EP. There’s no overdubs, it’s just me and my guitar. In the vacuum of the studio, away from the busy and bustling city, I recorded songs that are primarily memories of past lives. So what you hear is the result of that August afternoon.
