lyrics

The sign on the fence says it all
For sale or lease complete in a month or more
Up on the hill
beneath the big sky
Clouds are building, from the west a sign?
God of Thunder please this time

Decades had passed since the war
But Pa disappeared one day with his case through the door
Cattle and sheep seasons rolled by
Never built any steam to the day he died
Something went missing inside

Smell the summer rain
Finally back again
Like a long lost friend
Rarely comes around
Chases ghosts to ground
Lays my burdens down

His folks are buried down by the gates
Right by the orchard in the tree breaks
Got in too early or too late
The market dives or it’s interest rates
He’d hoped for something better than fate

Feel the summer rain
Coming back again
She’s a long lost friend
Rarely comes around
Often skips my town
It’s a joyful sound

Brother and sister made the call
Sell up the land
cash it out that's all
She’s on the south coast with a new guy
He’s all North Shore living his lie
Mortgaged and leveraged besides

Feel the summer rain
Finally back again
Like a long lost friend
Rarely comes around
Chases ghosts to ground
Lays my burdens down

I studied music formally, both music theory and classical guitar. I love most styles of music but writing popular /contemporary songs resonates with, and creatively inspires me.
