Topic: Small Horizons (my 1st song - be nice)

Small Horizons Alvee33


                   


[C]as far as i [F]can see


                               


[G]small horizons don’t [C]limit me


                     


[C]i can see the [F]world just fine


                             


[G]love and hate at [C]the one time


                   


[F]beauty and [G]disgust side by [C]side




and when i’m walking through


this little village like i do


safely in my comfort zone                         


in my happy  lifelong home


i’m counting blessings each and every stride






                                   


[F]i’ve never been to new[C] york


         


[G]never been in the streets of London


           


[C] amsterdam , cairo or hong kong



           


[F] shopping trollies in the river


         


[C]all look the same just wherever


                                                     


[G] i’ve never been to new[C] york






                   


as far as i can see


small horizons don’t limit me


i can see the world just fine


my family’s here and so am i


sit a while and watch it all go by






i’ve never been to new york


i never been in the streets of London


amsterdam , cairo or hong kong


shopping trollies in the river


all look the same just wherever


i’ve never been to new york

alvee33, This is a dandy song!

Even dandier since it is your first - it has a nifty idea and some very clear imagery.  Love the 'shopping trollies in the river' bit.

Here, they are called shopping carts and you can see them in the oddest places.  Always makes me wonder who left them there and why.

Thanks guys. I takes a long time for me to write. Don't know why but my creative juices only flow once in a while.

Glad you liked the site Paddy. I've even managed to sneak a wee link to chordie in there on the fly. Somewhere.

Alvee,

You wee dark horse! This is lovely. I to visited your site last christmas,

I did leave a message there. What a divine place you live at.

You know your right! why leave Kilbarchan. A wee piece of heaven it seems,
with no  abandoned shopping trollies.

Well done Alvee,

Good song, hopefully the first of many. I only need now to persuade you to record it so we can hear how you intended it.
