My first (of hopefully many) collaborations with a very talented Austrailian musician, Rich Webster aka Stiglar.
pop
rock
acoustic
Story behind the song
The vocal performance does NOT do the music justice. I tried to squeeze it out while in the midst of one of my many bouts with flu. However, we were on a deadline, lol. Stiglar stands out on this.
Lyrics
Rome is burning all the while the fiddler plays
He's dancing in the ashes that cover his last days
No care or thought if there's another day to come
Just basking in the glow of today's setting sun
And as they rush to save their treasures of the eye
He smiles and reflects as his hours' growing high
And what he holds inside he could never buy
Every love was traded for tears when it died
We keep going round and round and round
And I don't wanna fight anymore
I don't understand
I thought we'd walk forever
Sometimes what we need, it kills us in the end
It takes the shape of love, smiles like your best friend
The lessons learned and bridges burned won't help you through the night
But the loves that you shared, will shine a light
We keep going round and round and round
And I don't wanna fight anymore
I don't understand
I thought we'd walk forever
