Words and music by John Nicholson - Vocal by Marthie Nel Hauptfleisch
We were living our youth
From sun up to sun down
Holidays lasting forever
In our little town
We swam all day long
And under the bridge at night
Laughing and joking…
V1 all I do is sing the same old song
As sunrise opens up my eyes
Im Far away I'm in a trance
bout your our mind your lips your thighs
V2 I cant help thinkin' of coming over
I already feel the heat
But Lets take it slow, let's relax…
V1 all I do is sing the same old song
As sunrise opens up my eyes
Im Far away I'm in a trance
bout your our mind your lips your thighs
V2 I cant help thinkin' of coming over
I already feel the heat
But Lets take it slow, let's relax…

Short and sweet like the apple pie! I always do a collab every year with our senior songwriter (Mr Cooperider aged 85) . I'm getting on a bit myself but he gives me the inspiration that i can bug you all for many more years to come! Ukulele…
I remember the time i was someone
People listened to me
But now i'm just a nobody
Time moves on you see
Too many years of falsehood
Saying what they wanted to hear
Living like a parasite
Sowing lies and fear
Pillars of salt pillars…
V1 Like a first day sketch
like a homeless wretch
Ignored then just cast aside
Any crumb will do
To help see me through
To conquer and then divide
C I’m pursued by different wolves
Now I've left the words
They are just salesman with…
When you realize
That your time is
Almost done
That the best times
Are in the past
You use the days
That you are given
Like pearls from
A magic pond
No time for conflict
For voices raised
This is the time
To express your love
In…
Down on the bayou, waiting forthe night
See the sun set in the west, waiting for the car headlight
Waiting for the boysand girls to come
Bringing the moonshine down
And all those other shades of fun
Moonshine fever its haunting me
Moonshine…
High in the mountains
Above the falls and fountains
In the rarified air
You know ill care
Just for you, just for you
In the blue fiords
Seeking no rewards
In the darkest caves
My loves across the waves
Just for you, just for you…
He wrote me a letter one day it said
Im sorry i have to go
I didn’t understand the significance
But i was only 6 you know
V He said son be a brave boy
Look after your mum for me
This sickness has a hold now
So what will be will be…

V1 Weeds are growing higher
The buildings unkempt
The windows are al broken
The signals are bent
V2 Its shadow of its heyday
Slowly dying alone
It has many stories to tell
And most are now unknown
C Once oh yes once
It all happened…
What a nice, laid back sound and a pretty melody. The subtle little slide/dobro touches were just perfect. That uke sounded like a mandolin (or maybe it was) and provided a really solid rhythm. Loved the whole vibe. Applause.
Verse
I left out a few years ago
Chasing dreams big cities own
Concrete and asphalt take big steps
And lately I don’t know why I left
Chorus
They paved that gravel road that’ll take me home
But it’s been too long not to give it a…
Meet Me In Morocco
V1 Meet me in Morocco
when the light shines on the water
And the chatter of the morning market starts
As the call to prayer get louder
And the heat starts to rise
And the bus to Casablanca’s soon departs
V2 The smell…
One step in front of another
Water Bottles in my hand
Off to see the beauty
Thats all across this land
Ive wondered over mountain tops
Ive seen hidden springs
Ive been to places no one’s seen
Natures amazing things
A trek a hike a…
