Topic: Astral Dream Woman

Some how this morphed into a kinda gospel style  love song.
I have no clue how it ended up as so - it just kept changing.
I was inspired by a book I just read which was fantastic - actually written in 1946.

Hope you like it

Astral Dream Woman by Jim Kenyon


Verse 1


.




[G]A butterfly vision with [C]lovely soft [G]wings


[G]etched with free spirits like [D7] cosmic stars


[G]She lived by her own rules, [C]made no ex[G]cuses


and [G]kept no secrets, just [D7]followed her [G]heart


.


Verse 2


.


[G]her head filled with dreams, no[C] boundaries, no [G]fear


[G]sailing seas of desire that were [D7]filled with delight


[G]a freed soul in the water,[C] flowing with [G]passion


a [G]song in her heart, a rhapsody [D7] played just [G] right


.




Chorus


[C]A veil covers time, and once [G]more I am there


and [G] ecstasy winds are blowing across the [D7] sea


Oh I [C]stand on the sand, where [G]just for a moment


I can [G]hear her sweet voice that [D7]brings her back to [G]me


.


Verse 3


.





[G]Love's sparks and flames still [C] burn in my [G] soul


[G]But get lost in the cold, cruel [D7]silence of night


[G]My heart cannot, for its [C]own sake,[G]forget


This [G] astral dream woman, the [D7] the love of my [G] life


.




Chorus


[C]A veil covers time, and once [G]more I am there


and [G]Ecstasy winds are blowing across the [D7] sea


Oh I [C]stand on the sand, where [G]just for a moment


I can [G]hear her sweet voice that [D7]brings her back to [G]me


.




outgo- slower


Oh, I [C]stand on the sand, where [G]just for a moment


I can[G]hear her sweet voice that [D7]brings her back to [G]me




Yeah, I [C]stand on the sand, where [G]just for a moment


real slow at the end -especially on the  c note


I can [G]hear her sweet voice that [D7]brings her [C]back to [G]me

Re: Astral Dream Woman

Jim, reading your lyrics created an image in my head of a beautiful maiden born of the cosmos whose spirit and beauty appears to a warrior or a knight of old. There she is in all her beauty standing on a beach appearing to him in a dreamlike manner via nature. Like the wind he can feel her, but he can’t physically hold her in his arms. This beautiful astral dream woman, the love of his life. I could also see this as a song about a man on a beach, seeing in nature a love of his life who has passed on but her spirt haunts him. The sort of song that would be good in a movie.
Wonderful lyrical images you have created there Jim I look forward to hearing it as a song.

Re: Astral Dream Woman

Thanks Peatle !

Your are correct - there are several scenarios I conjure up in these lyrics - I will leave it to whoever looks at the lyrics to make their own conclusions.
I will post recording soon.

Thanks again for your kind words.
