Turned on some Airtone, tuned the old Martin down to E , laid it on my lap and added some slide, then some drums and lyrics.

A song about seeking some personal space for self reflection and contentment.

“Forgotten Land”

Trying hard to make no sound
keep my feet well off the ground
keep good company
with myself
is what I found

Float around on my own cloud
way above the empty crowd
look right up by chance
you will find me smiling here

Oh I hope you’ll understand
If you think I’m lonely?
or just plain going mad?
And no it wasn’t what I planned
now I’m in control
I have the time
sort my sand from pebbles
in forgotten land

(in my forgotten land)

Regret the things I may have done
trace my footprints til undone
in a place out of the sun
(forgotten land)

All my troubles let them be
show me love eternally
not as hard as I can see
(forgotten land)

Oh I hope you’ll understand
sanity is only
avoiding going mad
I know that we had often planned
one day you’d come and save me
try my melancholy
circumstance
forgotten land

In my forgotten land
In my forgotten land
(sanity is only - avoiding going mad)
In my forgotten land

(try my melancholy
set to circumstance)
in forgotten land

in my forgotten land
in my forgotten land
in my forgotten land
in my forgotten land
