let me know what you think.

Time Whispers by Jim Kenyon


Verse 1


.




[C] It feels like we’ve been lost


[C]at sea for months


as I [F] sit in a house, that’s filled


with [C] everything but love


.




[C] who was it that said,


[C]don’t build your house on sand ?


It will [F] crumble in the storms,


‘til there’s [C] nothing left, to speak of




.




Chorus


as [G] time whispers [F] love is slipping a[C]way


and [G] time whispers [F] love is slipping a[C]way


.




Verse 2


.


[C] Seems that we’ve forgotten


[C] Why our lips have kissed


And how [F] our hearts used to


beat [C] together as one


.




[C] every road is lonely now


[C] every word prays for help


What was [F]once, now is


gone , and [C] the passion’s done




.





Chorus


.


as [G] time whispers [F] love is slipping a[C]way


and [G] time whispers [F] love is slipping a[C]way


.




Verse 3


.




[C] was it chances afraid to take


[C] promises we didn’t keep


maybe[F] secrets we didn’t share


or words [C] spoken long ago


.






[C] feelings that aren’t the same


[C] hearts with too much ache


Why this [F]love story has to end


I guess [C] we’ll never know


.




Chorus



as [G] time whispers [F] love is slipping a[C]way


and [G] time whispers [F] love is slipping a[C]way


.




(fade out)




as [G] time whispers [F] love is slipping a[C]wayy


and [G] time whispers [F] love is slipping a[C]way

Re: Time Whispers - new song

Hi Jim that is a top piece of song writing.  Here is a rough idea of how I hear it in my head. I will take it down after a few days as I know my recording of the first part of your song isn't very good.

Nice one Jim. A step into the dark side for you me thinks?     

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Re: Time Whispers - new song

Thanks for all the comments !

Graham - yes - quite sad - I can't really say why - guess it was just the mood I was in.
Easybeat - I like the lyrics - IDK about being my best, as I can't sing a lick, so it only sounds good in my head. smile 
Peatle - thanks for giving it a go - I always like when others do my songs - it is so interesting
to see how others interpret the lyrics and play the music. I like how you did the chorus - with the walk down !
Phill - Thanks for giving it a look - yeah a bit on the downside - just trying to envision a person
trying to figure out what the heck went wrong in a relationship - and knowing it isn't going to
get fixed.

Thank you all - I will try to get it recorded so you can hear what it sounds like to me. 

Jim

Re: Time Whispers - new song

I recorded the song this morning - only had time for one take. 
I have no idea why I sang it and played it like I did.... but I thought it came out ok.
Apologies to your ears ! smile

Re: Time Whispers - new song

Jim it is good to hear your rendition of your well written song. I would love to hear Marty Stuart And His Fabulous Superlatives do this song singing it with a country gospel style, that they use when performing some songs like they do with that song The Unseen Hand.

voices like those and that fantastic gospel harmony are pretty rare.  Beautiful music !
