Gday guys, here's a new one...In the spirit of full disclosure it is on my Martin OM-18V...my J-45 was in open G and I was in a hurry to record this (in standard) while the muse was active.And I like posting here cause I usually get a few comments unlike on the AGF.For the trivia minded you may spot a Rev Gary Davis reference and a Townes Van Zandt reference in the lyrics. Cheers

Any comments appreciated.

 

 

lyrics

 

Chosen One

This hour’s made for leaving

Time to say goodbye

All you bone fide travellers

Of how and when and why

You can ride a golden pony

Upon the purple plain

 

shatter your illusions

Then glue

them back again

 

And when you walk

You can take the sunshine with you

Fill up your pockets with

Tales of kingdom come

If those amongst us in someway want to harm you

I’d have them remember, you are the chosen one,the chosen one

 

For every town without pity

Another rises to be warm

Sheets your bed in full redemption

Heels you deep where you are torn

 

And when you walk you’ll take the sunshine

With you

The love you offer

Will never falter or be shunned

The smallest mercies

Will smooth the way before you

Because you are the chosen one

 

 

As you sleep there is a highway

Unfolding ribbon from your mind

in each dream it seems to pull you

maybe you’re just the highway kind

 

And when you walk you’ll take the sunshine with you

Twelve gates will open and your restlessness is done

The wolf will pause and the lambs will all rest easy

Cause they know you are the chosen one

 

And when you walk

You can take the sunshine with you

Fill up your pockets with

Tales of kingdom come

And when the birds have have all sung out

Their lifetime

You will still be

The chosen one

Always be

The chosen one
