Hi to all. I've been playing for allot of years now. Have been in bands and frankly don't like the playing out thing much anymore, getting to old to pack all the gear and haul it around I quess. Recently I was a member of a three piece group posted as High Plains. Great music and great guys, but with the playing out thing and other more pressing issues decided it was time to sit back and just do what I love best, create the type of music I love best.

Story behind the song

Based on my favoriet series of books by Steven King, The Dark Towers

Lyrics

Verse 1	
I walk these dusty roads in time thru long forgotten doors
My father’s soul strapped fast along to my side
A Dark Towers quest which never rests, always coming back for more
Gunslinger dreams or visions full of lies
Break 2 time
Verse 2
Cort’s stead fast voice is clear and true and it burns my very soul
Hard lessons taught so very long ago
My father’s face is still clear and true, and easy to define
And Gilead’s walls are always on my mind
 Break 2 times 
Verse 3
Jake by my side and Eddy’s hand are partners in my tale
Susannah’s strength helps me guard our trail
Our Ka-tet is complete and one and we know we must prevail
To the Rose of life, we pledge to never fail

For this beam of light guides our flight though time
Dark towers spires lay on horizon lines
Break 4 times    Lead
Verse 4
From the Wastelands of the desert sands, to the long forgotten sea’s
We walk this guiding beam thru times unseen
Fighting evil till the last man fell, in the ways of Arthur Eld
The Gunslingers code, to which we all are held
Break 2 time
Verse 5
This waking dream holds the Crimson King, in the shadows of its walls
And I know this demon’s face we must befall
For this wizard holds the key to life, and he holds the truth of time
To these never ending Towers in my mind

And this Beam of Hope guides our quest through time
Dark towers spires lay on horizon lines
Break 2 times
Verse 6
As the writer spins his tales of lore, we pass through many doors
And the chapters end always tends to ask for more
As this tale unwinds and we come to find, what his words have all been for
Seems all these doors where opened once before

For this beam it guides us back though out all time
Dark Towers spires lay on horizon lines
