As I'm getting older (70 next year) I started thinking about mortality. This song is the result: https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=14959792BLACK ROSESWe're too soon old and too late wise
As we've spent the currency of time
Now I know the days before me number
Fewer than the days I've left behind
All that time would have been wasted
Had you never walked into my life
And I didn't need to be persuaded
Cos you made me feel so alive
Chorus:
But now I'm good with God
I've made my peace
So when it's my time to go
Say a little prayer for my soul
And lay black roses on my grave
Bridge:
I've always known where heaven is kept
And I want to die there as I slept
In your arms, angel, in your arms
And if my last words weren't I love you
It's only cos I ran out of time
Chorus
But now I'm good with God
I've made my peace
So when it's my time to go
Say a little prayer for my soul
And lay black roses on my grave

Wow Rich,
This is a really beautiful song. Is that you singing? How do you do such professional production?
Seems like you slipped another verse in there that is not in the lyric sheet.
This is a really sad by sweet song.

Really a sad song
Sounds good man
We’re all built from the same dust and dreams,
Different roads, but the same means.

Thanks, Tom. It's not me singing. I work with a Nashville producer, Gerry Peters. He does all of my demos and he is great to work with.

Thank you, Ben, glad you liked it. I'm turning 70 next year so mortality has been on my mind of late. This song is the result.
