acoustic folk alternative
Artist picture
Acoustic, folk, adult alternative with a touch of alternative country.
In my other life I'm a futures speculator. Since there is plenty of downtime in the business, I sing, play, and write, so I don't obsess about the markets. My music tends to be pensive. That's no doubt influenced by the fact that my instrument of choice is a classic acoustic guitar.

Lyrics
I've got many miles to cover yet before I get back home and my bones are weary from the miles I've gone. There is rest and joy awaiting when my journey's finally done but that's far away and I must travel on. To my left are verdant pastures where the sheep are safely fed and to my right a valley stretches far below And I know a table richly spread awaits my coming home where the wine of joy will surely overflow. I've got many miles to cover yet before I get back home But the clouds are boiling up ahead of me. I see lightning flashing in the distance, wind begins to blow And the rain is warning me to stay away. Let the mountains clap their hands at me and storms engulf my journey home I am safe from every wayside enemy. On my travels I am not alone For the Lord protects the path So the way is safe when there is a storm. I've got many miles to cover yet before I get back home and my bones are weary from the miles I've gone. There is rest and joy awaiting when my journey's finally done And we'll celebrate when everybody's home.
