Lay Me Down (Revisited) 04:56

Lay Me Down Don’t you know or maybe can’t you see Baby look at what you’re doin’ to me I’m so high from you kisses can’t find my way down I was standing here you were standing there Something really must have been in the air The next thing I knew I was ten feet off of the ground Off the ground Lay me down to sleep tonight With you at my side Cradled in the deep moonlight And in my arms abide Not so long ago or so far away I never really would have dreamed of today Who’d have thought my love, you’d be standing here at my side In the twist of fate that brought us here I’m only living for your love my dear Want to shout it loud, my darling your love I can’t hide I can’t hide Lay me down to sleep tonight With you at my side Cradled in the deep moonlight And in my arms abide After all these years you know I have to say I couldn’t see my life another way In the depths of your love, my darling I feel I can fly And so my love until the end of days I couldn’t be any more amazed Going to hold you close, here until the day that I die Till I die Lay me down to sleep tonight With you at my side Cradled in the deep moonlight And in my arms abide

Gone (Revisited) 05:32
lyrics

Gone Rudy red sun off the limestone kilns No laughter now up on Furnace Hill Long gone hopes now are turned to dust Chisel scarred cliffs are bleeding rust No ships anchor in the silent bay Waiting on the ghosts from another day To take their load of iron ore I hear the past knocking at the door Gone, you’re long gone But your memory still lives on Echoes caught in time From your soul to mine The furnaces are silent, fires long grown cold As light it fades to shadows as your story’s told Those of us who’ll listen as we visit here Summing up your world in a single tear The opera house is quiet now the singers now are gone But floating on the wind we hear the band playing on Your story’s still unfolding hasn’t finished yet As shadows they are growing and the sun it sets Gone, you’re long gone But your memory still lives on Echoes caught in time From your soul to mine Down the dusty road to the hotel there The smell of coming rain grows thicker in the air Hand in hand I’m walking with the past Deep down I feel like I’m coming home at last As the sky begins to weep the ground greets it with a sigh Whispering the secrets of those days gone by Dancing in the rain at the corner of my gaze The spirits and the memories of bygone days Gone, you’re long gone But your memory still lives on Echoes caught in time From your soul to mine I walk up the steps through the hotel door A shuffle in my gait across the dusty floor I'm checking in now I'm never gonna leave There's no need to worry don't you grieve I'm here in the company of spirits past Here in the twilight I found peace at last Under silent eaves as the shadows play Now I'm just a voice from yesterday Gone

Hush (Revisited) 03:41

Hush Hush as evening draws to close Now my time has come For so long I held you close My life, my love, my all Night, night follows day As moon follows sun Hush, don’t say a word tonight Rain falls all around Lie safe in my memory Safe within the sound The wind whispers your name Breaking my heart The rain, rain takes me back Back to the start Back, back among sunny days When grey skies were blue When days were young and fields were green And my life was you Gone, gone are the days Buried in years Now I spend my days Drowning in tears Done, done are my days Without the sun Now I close my eyes My love I come

Until The Very End (Revisited) 06:06

Until the Very End Here I stand Among the dead Leaden skies locked overhead Souls of loved ones In this place How I long to see their face And now I stand at the end Without you my friends My time has come All my life Drawn to this place Forgotten dreams and shattered grace Now I’m here My time has come How I long to see the sun And now I stand at the end Without you my friends My time has come I stand Naked alone Stripped to the bone Free of all fear You’re here You’ll stay by my side Heart swollen with pride Until the very end I look back Upon my life Full of struggle full of strife But if I had A path to choose Mine would lead me here to you And now I stand at the end Without you my friends My time has come I stand Naked alone Stripped to the bone Free of all fear You’re here You’ll stay by my side Heart swollen with pride Until the very end With you With you And now I stand at the end Without you my friends My time has come I stand Naked alone Stripped to the bone Free of all fear You’re here You’ll stay by my side Heart swollen with pride Until the very end Here I stand Among the dead Leaden skies locked overhead Souls of loved ones In this place How I long to see their face

Autumn Days (Revisited) 03:51
lyrics
buy track
Autumn Days Summer The endless days are over Here in mid-October The leaves are all around Colors Falling from our shoulders Covering moss and boulders Falling to the ground Here deep among the trees I feel autumn breathe through me Here in the cool October sun The world is so alive Morning The restless days are calling As glistening streams are falling Into crystal pools Running Silver squirrels are tussling Scampering and bustling In their search for food Here deep among the trees I feel autumn breathe through me Here in the cool October sun The world is so alive Living Always for this season Laughter is my reason Autumn’s in my soul Breathing Freer in these fall days Down October’s hallways Loving is my goal Here deep among the trees I feel autumn breathe through me Here in the cool October sun The world is so alive

about

Beginnings Revisited is an almost complete re-record of my very first EP. Basically, I've gotten to a point were I felt I should either dump or redo some of my initial releases to make them more listenable. I chose to do the later, and as a result I have a release I don't cover my ears in shame over.
