An acoustic folk/pop ballad...
doubt yearning
Artist picture
Singer-songwriter, arranger and producer: acoustic contemporary folk but ranging into rock/blues/country/jazz/humour...all very eclectic, I'm afraid!

Lyrics
AFS 03 Ice or Fire Intro and break D2AmEm11Bb C x2 DD Verse D2AmG2F#mD2AmEm11Bb ^C DD Looking back I feel a yearning I don’t like the way the fates are turning Is it healthy to have such a focus Magical mystery or hocus-pocus.ice or fire Let it out or keep it hiding Confusion now is overriding How it goes it’s all so hard to swallow Get a grip on life or lie and wallow. In the mire Am G DD 7 Am G AA7 When you’re elated I’m fixated, you’re the prize I have my eyes on When you’re stalling sky is falling stretching out to lost horizons F GDD7F GA A7 Break and instrumental verse The phrasing of your text causing my frown On the edge of the vortex, spiraling down Look out west the sky is burning What the future brings there’s no discerning Will your gain be at the cost of my loss Perfect order or broiling chaos ice or fire
