Just Stop Not Living

This was an old country style acoustic collaboration back in 2009 with a very talented Lyricist Mellina Barnett from the UK. The 12 string guitar and vocals music done by me. They Lyrics were quiet a tear jerker to do but I got through it!

Song Lyrics:
The curtain swayed in the gentle desert air
She rolled over in bed, felt his warmth wasn’t there
Sat up sleepily and turned on the light
Breathed sharply in, she’d lost all of her fight

Softly in the distance a guitar begins to play
Like a ghost from the past with something to say
Pulling on worn jeans and her lover’s old shirt
She forgot for a moment how much she hurt

She saddled the horse, the one they used to ride
As through the dark he could be her guide
She felt no fear as the guitar strummed the way
Leading them in a trance, she heard a voice say

CHORUS

Don’t you worry no more, you’ve got to move along
I’m always you’re memory and have only gone on
Please stop not living, don’t give up on your time
I’m always beside you
I took a vow
That my darling, you’ll always be mine

By the light of dawn she could just see his face
Through death he’d come back to their place
Kissing her softly he wiped her broken tears
Whispered ‘you’ve been part of my soul for all these years

But I have to go back now this was only a dream
I had to let you know that death is not what it seems
I can still feel your skin and smell your hair in the dew
Listen to your call, and will always stand beside you’

She woke in the morning with dust in her hair
The bed was still empty but she knew he’d been there
For as she stood and walked to the open door
Found his guitar that had been placed on the old wooden floor

CHORUS
