lyrics

Not many days now 'til new life begins,
Awake in the morning and wondering
What can be happening and what have we done?
Is new life beginning already begun?

Not many months now, looking behind,
It seemed all these changes were just in my mind;
I can't quite believe it but I'm listening to
Another heart beating and an old love made new.

Not many mornings or evenings to cast
The net of our hopes on the seas of the past;
They're moving within us and the future is too,
A new ship is landing and an old dream comes true.

So wrap in your care one who's frightened but true
And he'll put his arms round the pair of you;
Not very long now 'til the moment when
Two old lives are over, three new ones begin.

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
