A reflective song from someone who had moved to a new country and was now finding the promises made by others were not being kept. They are wondering whether to stay or return to their homeland.
I play a variety of different styles of music and have just released a 10 track CD of 60 minutes of specially written relaxing music - "Dragonfly Summer"
I have played for many years in England, Spain, Malta and Cyprus, usually as on keyboards or guitar. Mainly I have been a backing singer, with the occasional song as a main singer in all the various lineups. In February 2010 I received some new music recording equipment, so out came my other gear after a five year break. Since then I have written many songs either on my own or with other musicians over the Internet. Most of the songs completed are here for you to listen to. They are all under copyright licence to me.

Lyrics
I need to cross the river, go back to the life I’ve known,
I need to try again, the chances that I’ve blown,
I tried to build a new life here, on a grass that looked so green,
With people with laughing voices, and faces so serene.
I need to start my life again, and leave the wreck that I’ve become,
There’s nothing for me here, all my feelings are so numb,
It was to be a better life, but the promises were lies,
The sea of opportunity, its waters have run dry.
Are you going to come back with me, or stay here on your own,
This house is just a little house, this house is not a home.
I need to cross the river, go back to the life I’ve known,
Just give it one more try again, at the chances that I’ve blown,
I’ll try to build a new life, in the land that I was born,
With people that I’ve known for ever, they’re people that I know.
Are you going to come back with me,or stay here on your own,
This house is just a little house, this house is not a home.
Are you going to come back with me, or stay here on your own,
This house is just a little house, this house is not a home.
