This is a blues song set to the tune of"Red House" Hope you get a kick out of it. Lol

 

 

London bridge has fallen
The queen of England has lost her crown
London bridge has fallen
The queen of England has lost her crown
No more watchman on the wall 
And Humpty Dumpty done hit the ground 
.
The river Rhine is running backwards 
Flowers won't bloom in midday sun
The river Rhine is running backwards 
Flowers won't bloom in midday sun
The ground is dead and the seed won't grow 
And I can't stand and I can't run
.
It's pitch black dark in New York City 
And east won't release the rising of the sun 
It's pitch black dark in New York City 
And east won't release the rising of the sun 
Lacuna beach waits patiently 
But that light don't ever come
.
My heart's as cold as winter midnight  
Spirit dry, as desert sand 
My heart's as cold as winter midnight  
Spirit dry, as desert sand 
Mind lost at sea and body sinking
Not even Jesus would hold my hand

Great verse but Jesus would hold your hand if in faith you asked. I like it and admire those that can do the lyric form this well. A7

There is this unique insurance your works always give my expectations And that satisfaction only builds more castles for my curiosity to thrive, waiting for subsequent results of your talent and thinking.
