TWO STEPS FORWARD
A whiff of doubt in the early morning rain
When the streets were still asleep
A shiver down the spine while entering the plane
And my thoughts started to roam
But it felt like coming home.
For the longest time in a two-dimensional grave
But the magic rises again.
Happy welcome to this life, my dear
Two steps forward – one step back
I hope you'll never ever get out of here
No more being back to black.
A long goodbye and a wobbly house of cards
Side by side inside my bag
The fear of lowering my guards
Seemed to be carved in stone
But it felt like coming home.
For the longest time a thorn inside my heart
But the magic rises again.
For the longest time...
Happy welcome...
Listening to this on Jims AE Sunday night radio show. What a beautiful tune. Love the instrumentation and the vocals are wonderful. Love this tune. A joy listening.

I have liked most of your material and enjoyed the video. I hear a serious dose longing in the tone of these songs if not the words. As always sublimely simple and a voice that is evocative and perfectly apt for the genre. Great stuff. ftlpope
