That is real clever word play Ken .
Jim  your add on is inspired way of giving the story that extra twist in the tail.
Merry Christmas to all of my Chordie friends and your families.

Ken folk country music story telling in a song  at its best.     

Season greetings everyone, Here in NZ we don't have Covid in the community as far as we know. Kiwi collectively all did the right things earlier on and we managed to stamp it out. Though like the rest of the world we have a few idiots.  I got this clip sent to me which  I thought was really good of our Prime minister answering children's questions about  their concerns around Santa and Christmas. Stay safe everyone.

DE I ;love the way you use the weather as a metaphor to describe what's going down in the relationship.     

DE I like the common sense positivity of your song.  Excellent story telling with an empowering message.

Good one Bud please post more often.  You have a great voice and you know how to write a perfect lyric and compose a good tune.     

EB, show how weird my mind works at times when I hear politicians talk about road infrastructure Neil Diamonds voice comes into my head singing.
The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows where

But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
Sometimes I also get that Canned Heat song playing in my head On The Road Again or even better Willie Nelson doing his  On The Road Again.
Maybe the Beatles summed it up best when they sung about the number of holes in the road in Lancashire.

Hear ye hear ye Easy Beat you and Mr Shakespeare have a fine way with words.     

I agree Beamer trimming the fat out of stories and turning them into songs is hard. I'm still trying to find the right lyrics for this song and also I am stuck on how to make it flow.     

Love the humor Phill gave me a good chuckle.     

Excellent lyrics Jim. Here is some of my thought on social circles  and people feeling bruised.   Losers , winners, Saints and sinners and the path they choose. Looking at the news sometimes I can see to have conversations with those with different points of view is impossible.
                                     Price To Pay
In a  way of land there is a man who many think is their Messiah.
There are also many of those who don’t.
His words are gospel to some and to other's just half truths and no truths.
Is he sent by the Devil or sent by the lord?
Some say ,“ propaganda and slander.”
Some have thoughts they are frighten to express.
Fear that those they love dear are unable to hear thoughts they hold sincere.
They can’t even agree on what they believe or see with a disease called Covid.
Apart from maybe knowing some will get over it.
People have free will over who they put on the top of the hill.
Their decisions maybe wise or they can divide.
Be it right or be it a sin the majority will always win.
I suppose for many today arrogance of a leader isn’t a sin.
I can still hear my Sunday school teacher from when I was a kid reading that bible verse,
‘Whoever wants to be a leader among you must also be your servant.”
Enough of what’s happening out in the big somewhere.
I will just sit here and enjoy my garden and hope my Roses will bloom.
While my neighbor over the fence talks to his friends on zoom.
For those who read this who have been profoundly affected.
Please don’t think that I have been completely disaffected.
I guess it is true many with strong views end up going in circles.
Spinning the spin and never giving in.
There is always a price to pay.

Good One EB
