Classic rock cover
Hello World!, I say WELCOME. I'm a 57 years old classic rock fan and musician. For the most part I only do covers of classic rock and folk songs but am known from slipping in an occasional ballad or instrumental here and there too.

Story behind the song
I have been slowly gaining speed on my new production rig, it has not been easy since moving from Windows XP through Vista to 7. Seems to be getting there... also, confined to my house due to a severe cold/flu leaves me with plenty of time to dedicate to these music matters, makes the recuperation not such a bad experience. Seems I have been cramming a lot of Alan Parsons music on my song list... love the band, what can I say?
Lyrics
Is there no sign of light as we stand in the darkness? Watching the sun arise Is there no sign of life as we gaze at the waters? Into the strangers eyes And who are we to criticize or scorn the things that they do? For we shall seek and we shall find Ammonia Avenue If we call for the proof and we question the answers Only the doubt will grow Are we blind to the truth or a sign to believe in? Only the wise will know And word by word they handed down the light that shines today And those who came at first to scoff, remained behind to pray Yes those who came at first to scoff, remained behind to pray When you can't hear the rhyme and you can't see the reason Why should the hope remain? For a man will be tired and his soul will grow weary Living his life in vain And who are we to justify the right in all we do? Until we seek until we find Ammonia Avenue Through all the doubt somehow they knew And stone by stone they built it high Until the sun broke through A ray of hope, a shining light Ammonia Avenue
