Yet another songwriter-guitarist-singer. In that order. Though I earn my living mostly playing bass.

I play bass with various bands in many genres, and also perform at mainly acoustic-style venues as a solo songwriter-guitarist-singer (in that order)

Story behind the song

I won't reveal the true subject matter of this song, it's for the listener to discover. The picture is a clue, but probably not an easily distinguishable one.

This is the oldest of my current songs, written in 1998 when I was taking my final exams for my degree, and referred to in "I Don't Write the Songs".

Lyrics

TWENTY-ONE DAYS (UNDER YOUR HEART)

Twenty-one days - my heart is beating
as it's never been beating before.
I belong here, so let me stay here,
just for not really many weeks more.

Twenty-one days - my heart is beating,
and our miracle has begun.
We are both in this position,
but I'm too defenceless and young.

I never asked to be your baby -
so asking now might seem selfish -
but if I can't be yours for this precious short time,
I can never be anyone else's.

Spare me a little of your life.
It doesn't have to be for ever;
but you'll always be number one to me
if you decide we stay together.

To you now I am a burden,
but all too soon we'll be apart.
Give me the chance of a lifetime -
let me stay here, under your heart!
