Chapters Just Begun

Live from the Songwriters Cafe in Matlock Bath, Derbyshire.

By Darren ClaxtonPublished 7 years ago 1 min read

Here's a live video from last night's gig at the Songwriters Cafe in Matlock Bath, Derbyshire.

Lyrics:

A long long time ago

my boiling blood would flow

straight into my head

caused me oh such shame

and other peoples pain

constant feelings strained

I've flaws that you can see

and others I can feel

but most of them are gone

most of all I'm me

the only one I'll be

refreshing constantly

Take me by the sea

let me tell you stories

of how I used to be

lead me down the road

stories left untold

and chapters just begun

chapters just begun

years and years rolled by

I sat and wondered why

where it all went wrong

the patience that I found

had pinned me to the ground

my tempers almost gone

Take me by the sea

let me tell you stories

of how I used to be

lead me down the road

stories left untold

and chapters just begun

chapters just begun

Take me by the sea

let me tell you stories

of how I used to be

take me down the road

of tales left untold

and chapters just begun

chapters just begun

I've flaws that you can see

and others I can feel

but most of them are gone

most of all I'm me

the only one I'll be

refreshing constantly

Thank you so much for your continued support for me and my music! It really is so appreciated and I just love sharing my stories and thoughts with you all here!
