Liner Notes

#collaboration #Cindyrella
I couldn't resist Cindy's lyrics for this skirmish and had a go. The song was completed with 2 mins to go, but I wanted to wait for approval before posting, so here it is. Lyrics by Cindy, music and wailing by myself

Lyrics

The sign on the door  Said vacant  
It sat lonely amidst the vines   
There was a two-story window
 Zig-zagged through  \
And three Do Not Enter signs

Chorus
 Still I looked through the glass  
The cracked ceilings were beyond repair
 For a moment I saw a big flash  
Thought a ghost was kneeling there
 I thought a ghost was kneeling there   

Leaning against the old dwelling  
A bicycle for one  
Probably left forty years prior
  It was an inconvenient truthfulness  
All these old houses were done  
Overtaken by old vines and briars   

Repeat chorus

I really loved this lyric! And commented elsewhere! Gordon always delivers believable versions of good lyrics.

Oh Cindy, these lyrics are great! The chorus especially, and the prior/briars rhyme. 🙌🏻 Gordon, I love what you've done with Cindy's words, and so quickly, too, after you posted two others!!! I love the spare production, just guitar and vocals. The rhythm is great!

Great visuals in the lyrics and breezy flow in the music. Very impressive for a skirmish.

I love how you incorporated so many of @robinleaf's titles and made them work together. The lyrics are visually engaging - three Do Not Enter signs, bicycle for one, overtaken by old vines and briars. Enjoyable vocals and guitar work.
