You are the Road, You are the Diner

An autobiographical love song sequel to "I read your book..." for my wife

lyrics

There's a road in Colorado
in the shadow of the Rockies
where the train track follows the bends of the river
and along which cargo trains drag their load
you are that road
you are that road

and in London there's a stretch of the south bank
from the book stalls to the wharf
and they've hung little coloured lights in the trees
and there's a magic that paints a smile on my face
you are that place
you are that place

You're a Coney Island sunset
You're a Tooting Balcony
You're a fog drenched Coast Highway
A place in the clouds where we had tea
You're that wedding chapel in Las Vegas
You're those Pennsylvanian hills
You're the laying out of cushions up in Archway
You're the reservoir so still
and I know you'll always be
these things to me.

There's a Diner in LA
it was our favourite place to go
and after the film we sat and I had breakfast at the counter
and I looked at you and my life could not be finer
You are that diner
You are that diner

There's a bridge in New York City
where after work I like to walk
and as I come over from Brooklyn I catch my breath
because all of a sudden, the whole city before me is unfurled
You are that bridge
You are my world

You're the romantic restaurant on second
You're that Indiana farm
You are Williams Arizona
and the Caboose hotel that had so much charm
You're sunset at the Grand Canyon
The open air cinema where we watched the Thing
The Plaza Theatre in El Paso
you're where I'm going and where I've been
and I know you'll always be
these things to me.

Songwriting and banging your instruments together

The main thing I love to do is write songs. I pick up various instruments from ukulele to piano, accordion to percussion and electric guitar to harmonica and bang them about to try and get close to the noises I hear in my head but the writing comes first. ... more
