about

The basic idea for this song came from Chris, she sent me a demo with her playing piano and singing. I built a music bed around that and also came up with the idea for the bridge.

lyrics

Counting hours (Chris Spruit, 2017)

The light of the day
is fading out
Melting down within the heat
the life of this town
The girls and boys
in the neighbourhood
Will get the call
to run back home
before the nightly curtain falls

Chorus:
Get home soon
when the Night comes down
Head back home
when the sun gets low
Find me home
counting hours
down the curbstone
Leave a light on for you
on the window sill
When the night gets still
you know I will
Find me home
counting hours
down the curbstone

The woman next door
she turns the radio on
The thin white duke was a wonderful bloke
it is my favourite song
For my love
maybe he sings to me
Wild is the wind
darling, cling to me
Like the leaf to the trees

Chorus

Bridge:
There were times in life, you know
that I walked through
Every open door to see
the dark side of the moon
every time from now
I’ll spend with you
take me further on
to see
my colours shine on you

Guitar solo

Chorus
