This one started in 2007! Glad to call it finished. (Though who knows? - maybe a little further tweaking after the fact)

I really want to thank everyone who worked on this. Outstanding by all. I had a huge lot of help from Mike at the end with some killer guitar tracks.

Vocals - Ali-Kat
Piano - Paul D
Bass - BP1964
Drums & Percussion - Smurf
Rhythm Guitars - SnowdogUK
Lead Guitar - SnowdogUK
Words & Music - Chesook.

He turned the keys to start his car
And slowly pulled away
He knew he should have said 'Goodbye'
But he tried, yes he tried

She watched hidden by the blind
Now knowing that he wouldn't stay
Her face reflected in the pane
Now she cried, yes she cried

She would be missing him
But he'd never know
So much left unsaid
That's just how things go

With thoughts that he would never hear
She watched a phone that wouldn't ring
So she just climbed into her bed
And still cried and cried

He drove not knowing where to go
On the road reliving everything
Then swore that he would make a call
But he lied, yes he lied

Yet he'd be missing her
But she'd never know
So much left unsaid
That's just how things go

Sometimes pride hides what's inside
Too often we conceal
The truest parts within our hearts
That simple words reveal

And she'd be missing him
And never told him so
And he'd be missing her
That's just how things go

Funny isn't it, :)

Sometimes i skulk around the board checking out this and that, scribbling down words to bits of music, or working on projects and i something "really lovely" just slips past...This was one of those...

Really nice Ches. this one is definitely a keeper.  8) Beautiful work everyone...Cheers! Johnny

Who would think a 2007 song would be called new in 2011. That's what's great about this place. The songs are still here, even if they get misplaced for a little while. Glad you went digging Errol, you had a fine song with a fine group of collaborators. And now us newbies get to hear this for the first time. :)

Hopefully Ali Kat will follow your lead and find her way back to us. I know I'm glad you found your way back, your friendship and talents are both appreciated. 8)

Cheers,

John

Just ran across this post...this turned out really nice!

Thanks for letting me jump in! :) 8)
I am a drummer handicapped by location. I use loops, program and play parts in on the keyboard or pads. My bottom line is to have FUN, the reason I got into it in the first place!!

Aw Shucks, John! That's very nice of you. Thank you very much, mate!  And yes, I do hope Ali does come back at some stage. :)

And Smurf - thanks for that drum track. So happy you helped us out!  8)
