Singin' songs by the fireside

I am a rambling blues and folk songwriter and stringplucker. I have been living in Belize, Central America for the past 9 years, originally from Pennsylvania, USA. My songs speek for my travels and experiences, which have carried me to many amazing, inspiring, and eye-opening places and encountered many awesome, couragous, interesting, and encouraging people(s). Some of my songs address the system and the many problems which are arising through its fasaud of democracy and its perpetuation of Plutocracy which is the ruling of the rich over the poor.(ie:Big Corporations siezing power over everyone and everything else on the planet) Music and songs have also provided me with a way to express humor in life experience as well as encouragment to others and contemplation of Life, Love, God, and many perspectives too dificult to communicate to others without the tools of poetry and melody. I think I have the links set so that you can download the mp3 audio files, absolutely FREE!!!...Please feel free to give any of these tunes radio play on pass them along with this web site to your friends...and foes...let them all hear!

Story behind the song

I was leaving Belize once and i wasn't sure if and when i would return, so I wrote about some of my favorite places there as if they were precious jewels that I found.  nad whenever I want to I can just close my eyes and return to see them again.

Lyrics

Somewhere, between the rolling waves of the sea
I found a Saphire Island on a turquoise necklace.
There was a golden sun and a walking tree
as the sea it gave the sand an eternal kiss

And time stood still as the sunlight hit my face
If I just close my eyes I know I will return to this place

Now somewhere between the folds of the forest
I found a palace of Gold on a Jade horizon
There was a mirror lake and  Holy chorus
The jesters would swing around as an opal moon was risin'

And time stood still as the moonlight hit my face
If I just close my eyes I know I will return to this place

Now somewhere between the land and the ocean
I found and ancient song on a breeze that made a hammock sway
There was a sky of pearls and a magic potion
The fire danced and lit the night as the drums began to play

And time stood still as the breeze it hit my face
If I just close my eyes I know I will return to this place

Now somewhere up in a Maya Mountain
I found an emerald forest with rubies in the sky
There was a cave of jade and a flowing fountain
The sun lit diamond leaves as the clouds began to cry


And time stood still as the raindrops hit my face
If I just close my eyes I know I will return to this place


And time stood still as God stared me in the face
If I just close my eyes I know I will return to this place
