way back in the late 80s graeme & i recorded his “house full of strangers cassette al using 2 x 4 track cassette decks and bouncing tracks between them ~ it was a laborious process but we got there in the end! a few years ago i realised i had the technology/software to transfer the tracks from the cassette to a pc hard drive so set about doing so before the natural life span of a cassette tape came to an end. the results weren't perfect (audible tape hum/hiss and some tape wobble) but at least the tracks were saved and now dear listener, you have a chance to hear them too. dw

if you catch the sun crying...
you'll know i'm not lying to you...
it's just another way of saying...
i've got the blues...

if you find the clown down...
just try to stand in his shoes...
if you catch the sun crying...
you'll know i'm not lying to you...

shadows of winter...
are ing along my heart's wall...
soon i'll be home...
and my dreams won't matter at all...

hold my head high...
when i hear the name that they ...
and sink into sorrow...
when the hurting is flooding my soul...

a red satin skirt...
is swishing in front of my eyes...
pretty bird of summer...
has left me with cold grey skies...

there's nothing as sad...
as a heart that forever cries...
or a ghost in the dark...
that howls forever denied...

if you see a child lonely...
he may just look like a man...
touch him and kiss him...
surrender your sweet loving hands...

he will do all for you whenever he can...
till the final light comes...
life's living is not worth a damn...
if you catch the sun crying...
you'll know i'm not lying to you...
