Lyrics
standing at a station, waiting for a train
got no destination, a song with no refrain
gaze out of the window at vistas shifting past
tell the story with a song
make it last a little longer than a simple story would
tie the words together with a melody that's good
be a balladeer
got to beg or borrow, steal a line or two
there ain't no tomorrow, nothing you can do
sleep until the morning, dreams will come at last
wake before the sunrise, wonder at the dawn
memories are unwise, sorrow lingers on
just as every day breaks, all new dice are cast

Well, it's just me again. I can now settle back into last winter's cold weather routine and continue with my next creative endeavour, a musical adaptation of Sir Walter Scott's Quentin Durward.
During the meanwhilst, please enjoy my current humble offerings.
Gordon.
