Fallen Angel

For Megan

RIP Daevid Allen - a true inspiration

A few weeks ago, I was hunting for 5 pence in order to buy myself a chocolate bar from the vending machine at work. In desperation, I searched my desk drawer in the hope that a 5 pence might magically appear. I didn't find one, but I did find a suspiciously fat envelope... it turned out to be full of cash that my family had given me for my birthday and Christmas in 2013, and enough to buy myself a bouzouki. This is my first song with said instrument - I'm finding it great fun but very hard to play, and even harder to record with, hence this is a very simple effort. Originally written on the piano, the base tune is played on my trusty acoustic guitar, with the bouzouki track overdubbed and the piano added at the end.

fallen angel
the girl that i once knew
so fair and true

i'll search for you
i will raise you up
if you only knew

i'll hold your hand
dry your tears
lift you up
if you only knew

fallen angel
i will bring you hope
when all is gone

i'll come for you
the love that we once had
so pure and true

i'll hold your hand
dry your tears
lift you up
if you only knew
