A bit of wah lead to a song......
As the clouds start to break the suns on the run again
Keeping all that rain at bay
I’ve had enough of this damn lockdown
I want out, I want to live and have some fun again

Great Song! This should help her with a speedy recovery!
Makes me want to dance around in a circle on a couple of toes.... Love it!
Very smooth, this song just rolls and flows right along. I like the interplay between the vocals and the slide guitar!
