Guitar tuning drop D
like a waterfall...like the Mantovani effect
Then slight delayed echo in the prayer...like a gospel song
eeeek!!!
Blood Red You Are
blood red you are; a deep and violent hue.
Ripping through my veins, running me ragged, bruising me blue.
Ache inside; call me to my end
I don't stand a chance against these odds;
Lazarus heart; beautiful friend
And this is what I have learned, this is what I know to be true
You could not save me. I could not save you.
You lie because it's easy; you lie because it's what you know.
You lie to keep things hidden. You stay because you're afraid to go.
Is this where we come to let it go?
Chalk it up move along?
If loving you broke me, then losing you will make me strong....
And this is what I have learned, this is what I know to be true
You could not stop me. I could not stop you.
You lie because you want to, you lie because you think you're to blame,
You lied to spare us from your truth
You lied to spare us from your shame.
Blood red you are. A deep and violent hue.
Ripping through my veins.
Running me ragged, bruising me blue.
Stripped back.
Clean vocal, slight reverb. Deep solid sound.
Guitar crisp and mellow, not too twangy.
Dial in your number
Caller hold the line
The best has been written
Now all you have is endless time
Now all we have is lots and lots of time
Where is she now?
Blowing in the breeze
I decode her answers
In woodpecker feathers and fallen leaves
Where are you now?
Hanging in the air
In memories and silhouettes
in empty packs of cigarettes
Where are you now?
We’re what you left behind
Who bloody cares anyway
Regrets that feed on wasted time
Dial in your number
Everything’s just fine
I follow her shadow
and when I pray her hands hold mine
Open g9- Slide thing
bit simple, good pace.

Dirty Shadow
Ooooh I couldn’t let it go
For the life I didn’t get to live
Cause I was carrying your dirty shadow
Ooooh now I’m the end of the line
Packing my bags to leave
and I’m only taking what’s mine
When the sun is bright
Light that casts no shade
no more need to hide
Let the darkness fade
Back to the Light
Ooooh it’s not my debt to pay
In the gap I couldn’t see
I’ve been standing in negative space
Ooooh clean water flow
Wash away the filth and shame
Of this dirty shadow
Loss upon loss
Grief and grief compound
Searching for what’s true
And for solid ground
We can open our arms
Hearts wide as the sea
We can put it down
We can all walk free
Into the light
Oooh I’m going to let it go
Oooh now I’ve let it go
Oooh…now I’m gonna go.
Into the light
Into the light
Of my own life
Of what is mine
It's in 5/4 mother fucker!!
