Music, Lyrics & Guitar by: Tom Hyatt

Diesen wunderbaren Song von Tom Hyatt haben wir in einer Küche in England aufgenommen. Zusammen mit der außergewöhnlichen Cellistin Maya McCourt rockt Tom das Haus.

Leave my cares by the open door,
Feel the flow and my spirit soar,
Soon I’m in the clouds high above this town
See the streets softly mist away,
Turn my face to the icy spray
And I can’t recall how to get back down

When it’s been a long time coming
This life I’m loving,
Oh, it’s been a long time coming

As the chains start to leave my mind
I feel it play as it moves in time
With a natural tone, just like I was a child
All alone, no one around,
On a boat in a sea of sound
And if I cut the chord, I could drift for miles and miles…

In a long time coming
This life I’m loving,
Oh, it’s been a long time coming.

Well, whatever don’t kill me makes me stronger,
I think I want to live just a little while longer,
Catch my breath, keep a hold, and come back swinging
As myself, no one else, no one else.

I’m on a train, a familiar track
Stow my guitar in the luggage rack,
Then I find a seat, further down the car
And as I sit and watch the world go by
I find the time stop and wonder why,
How, where, what, wherefore… just who we are

In a long time coming
This life I’m loving,
Oh, it’s been a long time coming

In this life our bodies break
But the mind alone does a person make
So catch your breath, keep a hold and come back swinging
As yourself

And from the breakfast break to the tea-time-teeter
While we’re watching the clock there’s no one feeding the meter
So catch your breath, keep a hold and come back swinging
As yourself

So whatever don’t kill you makes you stronger
You say you want to live a little while longer?
Catch your breath keep a hold, and come back swinging
As yourself, no one else, no one else
