about

My wife Natalie presented me with these beautiful heartfelt lyrics, so I went to work to try and draw out the most I could from them musically.

As with many of these songs I record all the parts at home and then replaced various parts with these great musicians and friends.

Barry Leef sang this so honestly and with such grace - a true gift for us to listen to.

lyrics

ALL IS NEW AGAIN

VS
I tried so hard to find
A way through all my days
The cheap gin and the wine
And all is fine again

VS
When eyes no longer see
The world outside the door
There is no reason left
To be here anymore

CH
A weary heart can’t see a life that’s not the same
The warmth of distant stars, the beauty of the rain
But a tender touch will lead me home again

VS
Lost in another life
Drowning in his dreams
The writing’s on the wall
Like an Escher waterfall

VS
What did the music mean
Just play it once again
Not quite as good as Frank..
Who cares, the money’s comin’ in

CH
Now water on my face is the gift of summer rain
To wash away the past, new love’s sweet refrain
No longer hidden tears, my heart is home again

CH
Like water on my face, you woke me from this daze
Through the door I saw all the love you gave
Now my home is you, and all is new again

SOLO

CH
Now water on my face is the gift of summer rain
To wash away the past, new love’s sweet refrain
No longer hidden tears, my heart is whole again

CH
Like water on my face, you woke me from this daze
And through the door I saw all the love you gave
Now my home is you, and all is new again


CH
Now water on my face is the gift of summer rain
You freed me from the past with all the love you gave
I found my home in you, and all is new again
