Melancholy song from my 'blue period.' Almost didn't post because I think the melody is too similar to a famous song.

Tom Paxton meets Jefferson Airplane. Extremely prolific singer songwriter with a wide range of styles from bizarre novelty tunes and surrealistic poetic songs t
With more than 300 songs and counting and for more than 30 years, I have written in a variety of acoustic styles from novelty tunes to love songs to historical ballads to poetic surrealistic songs to retro-acoustic pop. From bizarre to traditional from funny to poignant, whatever style the song is in, the melodies are usually memorable and the lyrics unpredictable. This site will eventually contain rough often first take demos of my entire song catalogue. Many of the earliest songs when I first started writing will of course be shaky. So expect the songs to get better as time goes on. Feel free to come back and browse often as I will constantly be adding songs, one by one in chronological order, starting in 1974. If you are looking for some unusual songs to cover from a little known but unique artist, you have come to the right place. Just e-mail me. If you find a song here that intrigues you, but you don't like a line or two, or you think it needs a bridge, drop me an e-mail and maybe you can earn writer's credit if it gets that song to be recorded or performed.... otherwise just enjoy. You can become a Rob Lincoln fan at no cost to you. I promise that if you keep coming back there will be some real surprises along the way. While mostly acoustic, some original material will veer into folk rock and even 60's pop, but the garage rock and loudest material will also be found in full band arrangement at soundclick.com/abrasiveflowers Eventually some of these 300+ tunes may be rerecorded and make it on to CD, including a novelty CD that would be suitable for Dr. Demento or an historical ballad CD or a political song CD--but until then, this is the only site you can hear most of these songs. (A few of my songs CAN be found on songramp.com/RobLincoln and myspace.com/lessickandlincoln)

Story behind the song
This one is a left over I hadn't previously posted as I wanted to rewrite the melody. See if you recognize why I do not like this song. I pride myself on original melodies and the chorus is too familiar to me. I am only posting it because I( ran out of time to re-record a 2002 song.
Lyrics
The wind is crashing to the floor The seagulls cannot fly no more The sky is breaking into two Horizon has not come in view Chorus There’s no place to head inside a cloud The weeping willows (sad-faced swallows) cry too loud The raindrops freeze inside the windowpane The misty fog to yellow’s given way Rainbow decolorized to gray The creeping fog has come to sieze the day Pots of gold have been depleted now The ship that didn’t come in lists to bow Chorus Your lucky charms were all sold yesterday Auctioned off and all have gone away I think I’m gonna climb a mountaintop To see if the sky’s the limit or its not (is limitless or not) Chorus The sky….
