Crazy Sundials

(V1)
If love is blind
Am I living in hell
'Cause that means hate can see
And I see so well

(PreChorus)
The gods are playin' with their crazy sundials
My lonesome heart is begging for smiles
But life is beautiful, so beautiful

(V2)
It's twice as cold tomorrow
And it's zero today
Should I laugh or cry
When love's gone away

(PreChorus)
The gods are playin' with their crazy sundials
My lonesome heart is begging for smiles
But life is beautiful, so beautiful

(Chorus)
If I fell off a cliff should I try to fly
Pain seems to be my pleasure
I should lay down and die
The gods are all crazy
And my life is in their hands

(V3)
I think I'll run away
To a villa in Rome
Live the perfect life
Where I'm never alone

(PreChorus)
The gods are playin' with their crazy sundials
My lonesome heart is begging for smiles
But life is beautiful, so beautiful

(Chorus)
If I fell off a cliff should I try to fly
Pain seems to be my pleasure
I should lay down and die
The gods are all crazy
And my life is in their hands

(V4)
There's nothing sweeter
Than lips on your cheek
Along a winding path
From your head to your feet

(Outro/bridge)
The gods are playin' with their crazy sundials
My lonesome heart is begging for smiles
Life is beautiful there's no way around
I've learned to live with my ups and my downs
Life is beautiful, so beautiful

Thanks CD  .


Stoney and Tricia:

Yahoo!  That was a blast  .  I really enjoyed putting this song together.  I LOVE it!  I'm singing it around the house all the time.  It's the happiest song I have  .  Great vocals as always Tricia.

Thanks Ian for allowing me to put my words of "death" to your happy tune  .  I love the change in V4 - very cool!  That's twice we've had a threesome now  , hope it was good for you too.

Til the next one....TGIF....I'm opening the champagne (okay, beer really)

Later...Casia

(P.S. - Ian, can you attach an MP3 so I can add this to my soundclick station)

[Tricia41]

Wow, this one was fun. A challenge at first..... waiting for lyrics...singing la las.   

It turned out so nice. I still love the bridge. I love the way the chords change there.   Happy.

Hi Ian:

FYI, the lyrics you have posted here are the original lyrics not the final lyrics.  The final lyrics can be found on page 6 in the Project Studio if you'd like to change them.  Thanks.

Hi Everyone,

Great tune!! Love the warm relaxed feeling. The singing is very atmospheric.

My favourite part is the bridge -- its beautiful!! Quite a contrast of light and shade there - So beatific and so about death:)

The horns work well!

Cheers,
Andy

[Stoney]

Thank you Andy glad you like it .... the horns are from the Chris Hein midi set..... we had a lot of fun on this one.

Cheers  Ian

[Tricia41]

Thanks Andy! 
I'm still not sure how (or why) the gods play with crazy sundials though. 

[AndyG6508]

i guess they use crazy sundials to regulate the amount of sunshine alloted in the UK:)

[Donna]

What a delight to listen to! Well done, all.   

Casia, this is one of your 'simpler' lyrics, and I love it. 
Great vocals, Tricia. 

Donna

[Casia - lyricist]

Thanks Andy and Donna:

Come on everyone "Crazy Sundials", look a little deeper.  The gods are regulating the weather, playing chess with your life - rain or shine.  Or, metaphorically whether your life is going good or bad, happy or sad, love or hate - got it!!!

Yes, my happy song about death, but if the gods don't want you to die, you're not gonna die, they just might make you suffer a little while first  .  Oh, the cruelty of it all  .
