Singing a New Tune

Well, I've gone and done it . . . written a tune for my honey in Bordeaux.

It's here.

It still has many problems; I'm working with all-digital technology, except for the microphone and I don't have the violin solo I want

But it's a fairly good sketch . . . what do you guys think?

Well, it's definitely not hip-hop.

Everything written and played by me

Lyrics are

You can come home now, baby
Now the day is done
Nothing left to keep you, baby
Caged without the sun

Leave it all smouldering, baby
And walk right out the door
Ain't nobody's business, baby
Who you're gunning for

Don't you look behind you baby
As you board the train
Thinking like a stranger, baby
Who won't be back again

Drink up all your worries, baby
And wander in the night
Smoke out all the losers, baby
You know you'll be all right

Chorus:

Only fools will climb a string into the sky
And maybe you will be the one who knows
The one who knows the reasons why

I know it's been a long day baby
You're going so far away
When the ticket man comes baby
There's a price you have to pay

Don't you let it get you baby
You'll find your way around
Take a little chill pill baby
Don't let it get you down

Did you really feel this baby
Was it always in the plan
Don't go to the edge 'n fly baby
Before you know you can

Is it all a dream now baby
The life you had before
Say you really miss it baby
And you'll be back for more

Chorus:

Say your prayer and take a walk into the rain
And maybe you will be the one who takes
The one who takes the midnight train

Bridge:

Riding all alone to who knows which tomorrow you'll find at
The end of the line
Leaving all the love but leaving mostly the sorrow and pain
It's all on the midnight train
You're on the midnight train


(Last line): See you on the Midnight Train
