I started this collab a few years back but have been offsite since (unfortunately). I re-sang this today and think I'll call this one done unless I can replace my Kermit the Frog vocals...  :P  ...or if anyone wants to make any suggestions.

Appleluza did both the strumming and finger picking guitars. I wrote the words & music. Thanks for checking it out.
 :)

Staying in this lonely room
Listening to the wind and rain
I lie awake
With swirling thoughts I can't explain

All the words I never said
Knowing I can't put things right
So I contemplate
The golden strands of morning light

And a tear falls
Another tear falls
When the emptiness calls
A tear falls
Another tear falls
My tears fall
For you

At night I walk alone
And the feeling comes again
I then call your name
And search the truth from deep within

The mistakes I know I made
And the schemes I had to try
Are now put away
With all the hopes we kissed goodbye

I never knew that Kermit can sing so pretty. :)

If you ever want to lend the frog to somebody, knock on my door! I can definitely use that voice!

Well done. Post more! :)

Thanks Steffen. I guess most of us don't like the sound of their own voice. I'd be happy to try some vocals for somebody but I know I really do have a very limited range. I certainly will be posting more. I have a stack of unfinished or half written songs and I am always looking to try and help out wherever I can. Thanks for listening!  :)

If Kermit sings like this, lemme be Kermit.
Beautifull song... Beautifull song... Beautifull song... Beautifull song... Beautifull song.

Nice job, Erol. Your vocal sounds good on this. I honestly don't remember doing the guitar part, but glad you could use it.

I'm going to take a page out of your book and try a more minimalist approach on a bunch of my songs - just my guitar, my voice and maybe one or two other little accent parts.  The spare arrangement is nice.

I agree with Rob on this one Errol. I like the simplicity of this, reminds me of sitting with friends and a coffee at one of the local "open Mic" nights. 8)

oh what a beautiful song!!!
Have you ever heard about Stephen Duffy???
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JD2hOykPNGQ&feature=related

He is one of the worlds greatest songwriter, he wrote hits for Robbie Wiliams and others and he has a lot of beautiful great songs.

Man, listen to your voice I could swear you ARE Stephen! How strange.
However, great song and performance you both.

Errol, this sounds great!

I agree with others about the minimalist approach...For this song...it's perfect...unless you happen to know a good violinist ::) Cheers, Johnny

Thanks Johnny. Yes, a violin would be nice. The door will always be open to new versions.  :)
