Bio

I am 67 years old and retired. I have played guitar all my life in various mostly unsuccessful outfits. I am not able to play live now due to arthritis in my fingers. This has meant I have turned to song writing and recording. I have a small bedroom studio (I’ve called it Pump House Studio) where the magic !!! is done ha ha. The process of producing a song from a completely blank canvas is enthralling. I’m not such a good singer so the vocals are usually done by Livi. Hope you like the song and video which I put together as well from royalty free clips. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaJulAPhWfU Thank you. Chris

Lyrics

Cold, Cold Winter

V1
I didn’t mean to scare you
There’s winter in my bones
When life becomes too heavy
You can hear my glacier groan

V2
Sometimes I don’t go out
Cos my heart has been snowed in
And it doesn’t take too much
To hide and just stay in

Chorus
It’s a cold, cold winter.
But when, I think of you
You light up my fire
Deep inside
And All of these moments
Are divided into two
I’m waiting out this heart ach
In this world of black and blue

V3
But don’t you get me wrong
There’s beauty in endless white
The ice along my lashes
Reflect back the light

V4
So do not waste your worry
On blizzards and my storms
I’ve got my own flame burning
My Winter Within
