Mastered in Soundcloud Guitars played: Taylor 714CE in open C Sharp tuning (Capo 9th Fret) Photography: Thanks go to Nigel and Libby Hume at Hume Photography.

LYRICS: These thoughts go drifting by And I watch them fade away Where they come from I don’t know Where they go, who can say It seems that there is always A lesson to be learned Another twist in the story As the pages get turned So I put on my walking shoes Take it steady, take it slow Turn my collar to the rain Breathe in deep and let it go What are the rules in this game Are there any rules at all? These thoughts go drifting by And down the waterfall It seems that there is always A lesson to be learned Another chapter in the story As the pages get turned So I put on my walking shoes Take it steady, take it slow Turn my collar to the rain Breathe in deep and let it go Now I’m standing by the river At the foot of the mountainside Will the grass be any greener Over on the other side It seems that there is always A lesson to be learned Another time, another story As the pages get turned So I put on my walking shoes Take it steady, take it slow Turn my collar to the rain Breathe in deep and let it go Genre Singer-Songwriter Comment by Alba Another beauty Ian.
