Merlin likes riding trains, but not the kind depicted in this song. "I do like this type of music. Relaxing." (Garageband.com)

We started out in Medieval England and slowly evolved into a lean mean music making machine
Merlin and the Gnometones were a garageband from the sixties. They toured the US playing for small audiences, living day to day. They recorded over 70 songs using what ever equipment they could borrow. Recently, a tape was discovered with 30 of their original recordings. (Ironically in a garage sale) They have been digitally remastered and posted here for your enjoyment. Seriously, I am a non-performing songwriter just trying to get his music out to people who may enjoy it. Most of it falls into the classic rock genre, but there is a little bit of everything here. Thanks to anyone who takes the time to listen.

Lyrics
Fallen Trees A freight train was coming through A million tears fell as frozen dew I heard the wind start to cry My world opened up to the black sky I closed my eyes and felt the pain As the bullets flew disguised as rain I saw my life passing by Riding the train to the other side *chorus* No place for the birds to sing No place to hold the leaves No place to hang a swing All there is are fallen trees The sun was warm upon my cheek As my eyes opened to take a peek I survived this ground attack The train was gone,but it left its track The mighty oak had stood so tall Cut down to size by a sudden squall. No more trees to block the sun A seed was sown, a new tree begun. *chorus* No place for the birds to sing No place to hold the leaves No place to hang a swing All there is are fallen trees A freight train was coming through A million tears fell as frozen dew I heard the wind start to cry My world opened up to the black sky *chorus* No place for the birds to sing No place to hold the leaves No place to hang a swing All there is are fallen trees
