I have put up an mp3 of one of my new originals called “Once Upon a Time” at chris-skel.com. This is the track I recorded with The Turnpike Wrecks. Please don’t be too harsh as it is only a demo version and I have yet to tweak a few spots. For those of you who like to sing along, I will post the lyrics soon.
Find the song here.
If I buy you a beer will you buy me time
I’m running low on what’s left of mine
Pretty soon there will be just memories left to die
When the church bell tolls from across the street
I will say my prayers and I’m off to greet
A lifetime of grey mornings alone with the cold
Even though this is posted on a Sunday night, I started the draft Friday morning. Enjoy!
You’re not a flower, you’re a weed
A hungry creature who has come to feed
Upon my blood that pours like rain
But it’s only me that I can blame
Across the night a mist does creep
From ancient hollows and places deep
Where winds of hell do howl and mourn
With dreams of hate and dreams of scorn
