As I Stood There (new song)

by shahid on April 25, 2005

Well, old song really. I wrote and recorded this in my bedroom “studio” years ago in a day. It’s on the “My Music” section on the right. If you’re reading this months after I’ve written it, then the layout has completely changed and you’ll have to find my music another way.

The words are fairly clear, but given I wrote this in the late 90s, the portent is there.

Consider it done
Love is dead - and death has just begun
It didn’t take long
To bring a whole world down, we must be strong

There was I was beneath the sky, before the sea, to ground me
And this is where I had to be, empty, as nature found me wanting

Winter blew dead leaves in circles round me
As I stood there - Winter blew her dreams of spring around me

Love is a thief
It stripped me of my heart and my belief
Change is my only friend
With me from the start, right to the end

There was I was beneath the sky, before the sea, to ground me
And this is where I had to be, empty, as nature found me wanting

Winter blew dead leaves in circles round me
As I stood there - Winter blew her dreams of spring around me

I couldn’t move, I was transfixed by the magic all around me
And I knew I was bewitched, as I felt the cold surround me

As I stood there…
