I probably shouldn't post this yet, because I'm still adding more to it...but there's enough there now for show and tell and critique. But keep in mind there will be a few more instruments and effects added, and then a proper mix, so it will be evolving for several days. It's a song I wrote way back when...I was in my 20's, and I used to call it "After the Winds" and always played it live as a solo, just me and an acoustic guitar. But this version is closer to the way I pictured it. smile

Buckle up! :o eek :o

Eldorado

I'm getting sick of these angry winds
They're blowing 'round the empty factory
Where Daddy used to work before the winds arrived
But that must have been at least a year ago
I'm telling you things have changed a lot since then

I think you must've seen me on the street
I move from town to town
I'll drive until I find a place that doesn't make me shake from fear
'Cause I walk through the buildings and look at the highways
I look at the cars that never move

Eldorado bring me faster, bring me freedom
When the loneliness cuts into me like fire

She and I are dreaming up a fantasy
She and I are howling at the moon
Eldorado flies beyond the darkest sea
I believe we'll be there very soon

This morning when I found you I nearly screamed
I was a bit surprised
I'd never seen another living person since the winds arrived
But Beauty you're looking mighty strangely
I guess I'm looking pretty crazy too

Eldorado bring us faster, bring us freedom
When the loneliness cuts into us like fire

She and I are dreaming up a fantasy
She and I are howling at the moon
Eldorado flies beyond the darkest sea
I believe we'll be there very soon
Everybody's dreaming up a fantasy
Everybody's howling at the moon
Eldorado flies beyond the darkest dream
And I believe we'll all be there real soon
