about

I sent this track to my wife while she was exploring central America. It turned out to be her favourite on the album.

The guitar was recorded in one take with no click using a salmon pink strat and my baby the Black Magic. A couple weeks later, Dave and I recorded the vocals together in Max Zaska's shed.

lyrics

My love for you darling

My love for you’s so divine

My love for you darling

My love for you’s so divine

I’d sacrifice myself just to save to all this time

Cause I know you’re unhappy cause I’ll always be stuck in my mind

I’ve seen the grass and the green in your eyes

Foolish to think there was another side

Lived a past I could never decide

Forgive me if I see my future as a choice

The moon seems so close to the

The moon seems close to the stars

But I’ve never felt further from you now I have you in my arms

I’ve seen the grass and the green in your eyes

Foolish to think there was another side

Lived a past I could never decide

Forgive me if I see my future as a choice

I’ve seen the grass and the green in your eyes

Foolish to think there was another side

Lived a past I could never decide

Forgive me if I see my future as a choice

I’ve never asked so much of someone

I’ve never asked so much of someone

I’ve never asked so much of someone

Who was here to give it all back to me

And If I leave you it’s out of a love

Oh and if I leave you it’s out of a love

Oh and if I leave you it’s out of a love

A love that wouldn’t see you held back

I wouldn't see you held back

I could never see you held back

My love for you darling

My love for you’s so divine

I can't think of a band that sounds like this and does it all themselves. Support talent. Support friends. J Smith
