LYRICS:
Well the sun goes down on this tenement town
Darkness on the face of the deep
Shadows crawl to the water’s edge
Down where the willows weep
You’ve been too long in exile
Too far from the things that you love
Too long in the house of bondage
That you had to learn to rise above
They say that you were lost and found
In a land that was black and white
And you railed against the order
Of the dark oncoming night
Nothing escaped your camera eye
That took everything it saw
And held it up as evidence
In a world so cold and raw
Out on the border
Spirits on the water
Dancing with your soul tonight
Talking with the angels
Moving deep and graceful
Shining with a brilliant light
Ain’t nobody here can tell you what is wrong or what is right
In a land beyond black and white
You feel so down and homesick
But they won’t let you return
And you carry round the anger
With a slow and hungry burn
Out on the border
Spirits on the water
Dancing with your soul tonight
Talking with the angels
Moving deep and graceful
Shining with a brilliant light
Ain’t nobody here can tell you what is wrong or what is right
In a land beyond black and white
They put you in a shiny box
And then they try to lock you away
For doing nothing more than telling the truth
And painting the black with grey
You stare out of the window
But you say it can’t be framed
You capture so much more than
Anything that can be named
Out on the border
Spirits on the water
Dancing with your soul tonight
Talking with the angels
Moving deep and graceful
Shining with a brilliant light
Ain’t nobody here can tell you what is wrong or what is right
In a land beyond black and white

This is terrific, John. Very Dire Strait-ish. Love the lyrics and your harmonies are so cool, and of course, the guitar licks are awesome. 👏👏🎸🎸❤❤
Thanks so much Gary. Yes, this is very Dire Straits like.. I was going for that vibe. The lyrics are directly about the photographer Ernest Cole and his rather sad life, but very talented photographer! Have a great week ;)
Excellent
Thanks very much! :)

Awesome song here John.. Your recordings sound so good.. Once again I love those drums..
Thanks Peter. Luckily those drums come straight out of the Korg arranger, which has realistic drum sounds. Glad you liked it :)
@@johnhaydock1577I am looking for new gear.. What is the name of your korg arranger..?
it's a 2007 model I got for cheap called PAX1... quite old now... but still good.
Thanks John. Great new music for the midsummer party 🥳🍻
Woohoo! Mid summer party Ile! I hope it goes off like the last party :)
@@johnhaydock1577 This party was more peaceful than the previous ones. Nice J.H. music, tasty barbecue food, good friends and less beer and whiskey 😉
"404" was voted the best song of this party. You can probably guess which song I voted for 😉
Ha ha.. yes tge last one looked pretty boozy.. but fun. 😀
404.. yes... folks like that one... of course your song would be Dog on a Wide Freeway Ile.... I think you are the person that really got that song the most. 😀
amazing 😍
Thanks very much! Appreciate it. :)

The lyrics are wonderful in this one!! Love it!!
Thanks so much Rose. I put a lot of time into the lyrics after watching a great film called Ernest Cole - Lost and Found. Highly recommended doco. Hope yoou are going well. :)
@@johnhaydock1577 I’m going to have to look for that film!
Saw it at a recent film festival.. hopefully it will stream somewhere.
@@johnhaydock1577 I hope so. Also hope there may come a time when we are beyond black and white. I see this all over, and I see it in myself. We can’t think of other people who may look different or speak differently as quite as human as we are.
@RoseAkerman Yeah. I agree Rose. We are all the same...humans with the capacity to love.
Farout john
Thanks for listening. 😀
Bom dia John
Good day to you :)
