about

Life is colour but for some people it unfortunately fades to black and white. Unopened letters from old friends and loves often tell us more about our real selves than we can possibly remember. The past is not dead, it's not even past.

lyrics

Tired and Torn Shuffle Rhythm
(words/music S.Gibson)

Dm
Any human heart can tell you
Am
when it’s all gone wrong
Dm
don’t buy the process
Am
this is your song
Dm
the good luck and bad luck
Am
are balanced on the scales
Dm
life gives life
Am Em
passes and fails

Am
life is colour
C
he’s black and white
G
and tired and torn
Am C
as sad as a wedding dress
G
never worn

Hemingway died at 61
down deep and dark
a life lived fully
giving off those sparks
the sparks took hold
giving off those flames
spread around the world
changed every game

life is colour
he’s black and white
and tired and torn
as sad as a wedding dress
never worn

life is colour
he’s black and white
and tired and torn
be back soon she said
I could’ve sworn

unopened letters
at the back of the draw
tell us more about ourselves
than we ever saw

the past comes back and grabs you
by the throat
found himself again when he
read what she wrote
