Daddy's out working in the Gold Mine

Daddy's out Working in The Gold Mine

Song Link : Daddy's out working' in the gold mine

Mama's out working in the grape vines
Making red wine
So we'll all feel fine

yeah yeah yeah yeah ..

Daddy's out working in the gold mine
making a dime
so we'll all be fine

I don't know when
I'm coming home again
Sooner is better
You never know when the end may come

yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ..

Sister's out working in the hospital
She's a nurse you know..
Going to heal your soul

Baby's out learnin' the A B C's

Be like you and me

yeah yeah yeah yeah ..
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ..

I don't know when
I'm coming home again
Sooner is better
You never know when the end may come

Northbound (Remake)

Northbound

Song Link : Northbound

Northbound train , mountain high, hear the whistle blow echo through the trees now
is a lonely sound that fades away

But what I need to tell you
I'm thinking far away
I hold it close to the line
but when I reach the stop
and they pour me out of the train

That's all right
do it again

Northbound train , mountain high, hear the whistle blow echo through the trees now
is a lonely sound that fades away

club car game 
sipping whisky high
watch the world go by
never need to worry
' till you reach the final stop

But what I need to tell you
I'm thinking far away
I hold it close to the line
but when I reach the stop
and they pour me out of the train

That's all right
do it again

Freedom Calls Your Name

Freedom Calls Your Name

Song link: Freedom Calls Your Name

Well the it's certain that nothing is certain when Gypsy's your friend
By wine and by fire, a travelling choir, a caravan song

Freedom Calls your name
Freedom Calls your name
Freedom Calls your name
Freedom Calls your name

Well the last thing I remember is you were gone
No one can hold you , no one controls you, the wind is your song

Freedom Calls your name
Freedom Calls your name
Freedom Calls your name
Freedom Calls your name

Well you woke up and it was spring time, a time to move on
Fly north across borders , don't take any orders, the wind is your song

Freedom Calls your name
Freedom Calls your name
Freedom Calls your name
Freedom Calls your name

....

When I'm with You

When I'm With You

Song Link : When I'm With You


Season changed again
Can't remember when the last time
Smiling faces beaming proud like a mountain top
Souls just shining happiness 'till the end of days

Chorus:
When I'm with you all these dreams come true
When I'm with you all the stars collide and fill the skies
Never fear in that space
A silent moon always drawing us and creating time

[Chorus]

Venture far away
Days just seem to melt away
What little time we'd love to have to enjoy ourselves
Scent of youth only hiding under these older ways

[Chorus]

Bed of Northern Lights

It's been a great deal of time since I last posted any music here.  This isn't for lack of making music however.  My server was attacked because it was using SSL and I had to take it off line and rebuild my personal system.  My music is back online and I will be posting some relatively new recordings that I have done.  I give you this tune, it is one of my favourites of my own instrumental pieces.  This is a meditation on Northern lights.
