Topic: God is it Time

God is it TimeUndefined


[Dm]I see her waiting [G]alone by the river


[Dm]On the bank on the [G]mountain side


[Dm]Watching the road, that [G]I would come by


[Em]To see if I'm [A]coming, I'll be there when I [D]can






chorus




[C]Oh [G]lord when I get there


[C]Though I'm [G]far, far away


[C]In a far distant [G]land I shouldn't be here


[Em]She's been waiting a [A]long time


[Em]Yes I know she's still [A]waiting


[Em]Don't let her stop waiting[A]I'll be there when I [D]can




[Dm]We would walk through the [G]meadows; gold in Autumn


[Dm]Green in Summer with [G]barley and corn


But [Dm]clouds gathered [G]darkly, kings gathered armies



[Em]Forever must [A]wait till the war has been [D]won


repeat chorus






[F]We stand in lines [Am]opposed for the battle


[Cm6]I look at their faces as [G]they look at mine


[Dm]I see the fears of [C]men who would kill me


[A]Some of them run, but [D]most fight and die


repeat chorus




[Dm]I see her face as I [G]lay here forsaken


[Dm]Dead all around me; their [G]blood mixed with mine


[Dm]I remember her [G]scent and her presence


[Em]But heaven aw[A]aits me


[Em]Heaven a[A]waits me


But [Em]heaven a[A]waits me...God is it [D]time?

Re: God is it Time

hi peeps,

this is a sad song, i started writing it in November last year when i was quite depressed, then as Christmas approached i came out of it, till this week when i decided to finish it off now i feel down again as the hero dies at the end ooops i spoiled the story for you now!

any road, it's a waltz time [3/4] and it's very slow, takes about 5 and a half minutes, i'm in the process of recording it so it should be on my-space next week.
hope you like it.

Re: God is it Time

Hi Ken,

thank you glad you like it

Thanks to you too Helena, nice to see you back, I was beginning to think we'd lost you

If you'd like to hear this track, I've now up-loaded it onto my-space...click the web button, and before you start thinking that I've suddenly improved 2000% on my guitar playing, the guitars are played by Russ Harding, so big thanks to him for that plus his encouragement and mixing.

Re: God is it Time

Phill never ceases to amaze me the first time I listened to his music must have been last autumn there was something about it that made me want to hear more and we somehow hooked up as friends on myspace and have worked on several projects including Death and Paupers the collaboration of Chordie members that was written by Old Doll and included Arkady and Kenny (kap) Phill and myself, this song had something that made me want to participate and I was really pleased when Phil sent me a mp3 and asked me to add whatever I wanted,after listening I realized the vocals were fine as they were and chose to only add a rhythm and lead solo and mix it the song speaks for itself, a great composition needs little embellishment smile

Re: God is it Time

Hey Phill and Russ
A nice collaboration from you two. Phill's got a great voice but he's Mr Modest smile
and Russ.. solid guitar as usual. Two great songwriters... No BS
Well done

Re: God is it Time

thanks russ and thanks to you too ark, it's nice when your work is appreciated, though i have to say this song like all the others i've written was just an accident, it just came out like that! i'd like to know if other writers on this site have noticed the same?

glad you liked the recordings helena, did you check out the song at the bottom of the list called "mothers day?" i thought it might have something for you, i'd like to know your thoughts on it.

thanks again

Re: God is it Time

Hi Phill smile
As I suspected...another quality recording with image intensive lyrics.Well Done to you.
I haven't been around much as I've had my own rut to bust, but it is a new year so I will have to smack myself upside the head and get at'er.

hi phill great  song/storyline ,i don't think  fighting will ever endthere's too much greed by the minority  in power ,they are savely tucked up while they send the innocent  to fight....stay cool

love is life ,life is for love,keep a true heart and live life to the full....stay cool
