05 Sitting cold 1971
A song of lost love… I played this occasionally at the club with a simple picked guitar backing. This arrangement uses scored piano and organ.
Sitting cold on a fallen tree
Looking through everything there is to see
Never stirring or exchanging words
As she breaks the bread to feed the birds
And she acts as if there’s nothing changed
This moment had to come was so arranged
Empty feeling that you can’t define
Plays like midges on the waterline
Talking sympathy so they say
Never helps to solve things anyway
Resurrecting an ancient dream
Can do nothing to explode the theme
But when reasons lost the things you’ve done
Seem magnified and mystic in the sun
And the times you’ve sat and watched the sky
Are reflected now within her eye
