1991. From the album Leavings 2016.

lyrics

A is for Amy and B is for band
C washes over our steps in the sand
D is a river from mountain to tide
Evenings in winter we walk at its side
F is or flower, G is for grew
And I’m for you.

H is how happy I am to play
This alphabet ditty but what about J?
J is for Jackie, your Mum and wife
K is for Katie and L is for life
M is for marriage, N is for new
And I’m for you.

O how peculiar, oh how absurd,
That P is a letter and also a word,
Q is a question that I ask of you
R you still listening? Give me a clue
S is for sorry, T is for true
And I’m for U.

V is for value if I W
I get for my money but what would I do?
I’d be like X, cross and confused,
Wondering Y I so rarely am used
Z is for zero, this alphabet’s through
And I’m for you.

about

Dave Atkinson Chester, UK

I have been writing songs since 1967 when I was 17 and since I have accumulated over 440. Early influences were Dylan, Cohen, Jackson Browne Joni Mitchell, Kristofferson. Though never 'successful' in any conventional sense, my songs and guitar have led many sing-rounds and a couple of 1970's albums sell for £100s as 'rare vinyl'. Above all, it has been a happy adventure. www.atkinsongs.co.uk ... more
