Hi to all. I've been playing for allot of years now. Have been in bands and frankly don't like the playing out thing much anymore, getting to old to pack all the gear and haul it around I quess. Recently I was a member of a three piece group posted as High Plains. Great music and great guys, but with the playing out thing and other more pressing issues decided it was time to sit back and just do what I love best, create the type of music I love best.

Lyrics

Verse 1   
 As I sit here by your side in fear
 And I wonder what to do
 For your eye’s are far away, and so confused
 As the night time stars sail there course towards day
 I cry a selfish tear,	
 For tomorrow’s day may take you far from here	

Verse 2
 Well they say it won’t take long, before
 Your dreams are all but gone
 And they say I shouldn’t worry, there’s no pain	
 But I can, see it in your tired eyes
 When a memory comes alive
 And your pain inside, as they fade away with time	
		
Refrain  
  So close your eyes and dream 
  Of all the things you’ve seen
  Close your weary eyes and dream
  for the waves of time are crashing in
  And may wash away this scene, like
  Sandcastles in the sand	


Verse 3  
  As I sit and gaze in the mirror of life
  And recall what has come to pass
  And I wonder how much longer, memories last	
  Do you, even know my tearful face?
  As your pictures tend to fade	
  Do you know my pain as you slowly drift away?

Refrain 
     Now close your eyes and see 
     Your memories of me
     Close your weary eyes and dream
     For the tides of time have moved on in
     And have washed away this scene, like
     Sandcastles in the sand

Verse 4 
    As I sit here by your side in fear
    For I know what must be done
    For I made a vow, a pledge, so long ago	
    As these night time stars sail there course towards day
     I cry a helpless plea,	
     For tomorrow’s day has taken you from me	

Refrain 
     As I close my eye’s and dream 
     My mind hears past memories
     A song, a word, the touch of your loving hand
     And though the waves of time have crashed on in
     You know I still can see, your
     Sandcastles in the sand
