Paul Murphy - 'Resonances' . Session 2 , Take 2 . Alternate lyrics unique to this version.
This is the second run-through at the second session [Take 1 is part of a 4-song, 18-minute mini-set]. One day on from writing, I have adjusted some of the cadences [42 years on and I seldom play a song exactly the same way twice]. In addition, I altered the final 2 verses on this version - pulling my own punches to myself - but they will be unique to this, and I will revert to the original, as-they-came lyrics for all other performances.
I also cut some electric versions later in the session, which may or may not be uploaded - tune back in to find out, I always enjoy your company.
Light and peace,
Me

'Resonances'
I'm searching for answers
In an unwritten book
You tell me you're waiting
But not where to look
I only know strangers
Or, so it seems
Implicating my thoughts
And invading my dreams
That cross you're wearing
Won't bring absolution
Your mother's past caring
If she gets retribution
I went for your heart
You went for my throat
Here alone in the dark
I can still hear you gloat
Your lips burn like fire
Your caress cuts so deep
You opened up your memories
Sneering "Read 'em and weep"
One kiss in the garden
And the sentries arrived
The judge said I'd be pardoned
If I walked out alive
You showed me the banquet
But wouldn't let me eat
You said "You get what you paid for"
"Now my revenge is complete"
Each door you open
Leaves someone crying out, "Mercy!"
I could be ten years dead
You'd still stand there and curse me
Your setting-sun stare
Froze my soul to the core
You whispered "See you in Hell"
I said "Just like before"
Your words are weapons
Cold and serrated
Someone carve on my tombstone
'If Only I'd Waited'
The corridor is endless
The hourglass is low
Everyone dies friendless
One day, you'll know
It's time to strike camp
Meet me at the black river
The ferryman's at hand
I wonder who he'll deliver
