Life Is A Debt

(David Cornwall )

I hate the thought of getting old. Immortality is a wonderful thought, but in reality there is only pain and guilt when the music stops and your the last one standing.

Intro
Life is a debt, that god’s don’t have to pay
Time just reminds you
Through bottles empty haze
Death leaves a heart ache no doctor can heal
Love leaves a memory no thief can steal

V 1.
I play these weathered strings
My bones start to crack
Where does ya dancers flame go
Bright candles turned black
Just like the scent of ya woman, when she passes you by
I’d like to think it circles the wind, in cloudless skies

Chorus
Life is a debt that god’s don’t have to pay
And Time just reminds you
Through bottles empty haze
Death leaves a heart ache no doctor can heal
Love leaves a memory no thief can steal

V 2.
Ya strings getting shorter
Ya bones no longer crack
The lines on your face reminds you, your dancer’s not coming back
The scent of your woman returns, it’s someone else passing you by
Black clouds above me, I cry through crusted eyes

Life is a debt, Life is a debt, Life is a debt, Life is a debt
Life is a debt, Life is a debt, Life is a debt 
That gods don’t have to pay.

Bridge
Moving on is the furthest thing from my mind
Losing her, I’m lost too busy killing time
Death leaves a heart ache that no doctor can heal
Love leaves a memory that no thief can steal

Outro
Life is a debt that god’s don’t have to pay
Time just reminds you, through bottles empty haze

Punching Above My Weight

By David Cornwall

I'm sure I am not the only man living who has been labeled with the above title. Colloquially in Australia, others especially friends use this terminology to describe men with partners who are above average in personality, intelligence and or looks as punching or punching above their weight irrespective of how the man presents. Basically I take it as a compliment.

So It Begins

By David Cornwall

So it Begins is the actual diary title used when it was our families turn to deal with this insidious disease. This disease throws up every kind of emotion possible and everyone reacts differently. I turned to the written word and music for my solace. So for those of you living this evil, hang tough, stay positive & don't waste a day.

A Taste of Country

By Melanie Thompson

Before I say a word or two about these lyrics, I would like to confess that I wrote them while I was hungry. Had I eaten a chicken salad sandwich, bag of chips and a sugar cookie before sitting down to write these lyrics, these lyrics may never have been written. I will also caution you to eat before reading them. Anyway, I was born in the country and raised by country folk. This song is a tip of my hat to all the country folk around the globe. Those folks who help feed the rest of us. And how blessed we are to have food. Oh Snap! I'm hungry again. Enjoy.
