There's better singers than me here tonight Better players that's for sure I wondered if I'd make it to the mike I longed to use the exit door. I didn't come expecting anything And I'm not craving your respect I just came along to do my thing I guess I came here to connect. Music's always been a friend to me My solace when I'm feeling down My guitar plays on in sad sympathy And cheers well this crying clown And yet I know it is the same for you Hide in the music but rejoice I hear it in the notes you're picking through And feel it in your plaintive voice I aint been here for quite some time Don't know why I've stayed away Everybody here has been so kind Why don't I just get up and play Still got fears running round my head Doubts that will not let me go Something crucifying someone said Some crass remark from long ago. There's better singers here than me tonight Better players that's for sure That's why I never made it to the mike Just walked on through the exit door... PLEASE WATCH ME SING THIS IN CONCERT ON YOUTUBE. IT IS LISTED ON THERE AS ' CAME HERE TO CONNECT' LOUIS SPENCE . MANY THANKS.
