The Sky is Grey It's cold and it's raining... You know what I say "This will be a happy day !" This will be a happy day A happy day Come on get your boots on And all your warm clothes Let's go splashing in puddles and playing in the rain We have no need... no need Of reality TV We have the garden of the world Go on ... say it !! All we need is here in me All we need is here in me No need for smart phones, computers and credit loans Don't matter if you're wearing a suit Dressed in rags and plastic bags Get naked in the rain It's good for your heart, your soul...and your brain Come on move your feet faster Jiggledy jiggledy figgledy biggledy Jiggledy jiggledy figgledy biggledy Dance by the river by the light of the moon On the mountain tops your feet tap a tune Dance by the river by the light of the moon On the mountain tops your feet tap a tune Repeated...

THE LOVE THAT HAD NO ROOM TO BREATHE My coat is made of paper Woven through with words that touch the soul You read it like a bible But you were never meant to live by it alone We didn't know... That we were searching for a rambling home You found some tracks that I'd forgotten Times when I was torn and didn't care. You found a trail of witness to the bitterness and brine But it was them that could not see... the light that glows beneath And shines on They lead you to believe that it was gone Thinkin' I was following a pattern Wondering if things I did were wrong I was not young... but some things take a life time to understand For one who's dreams were sold to the god of storms For the safety of the bay But now I know... from my travels on the seas... That I loved you Thirty years have passed since we were lovers The sea drew breath ten thousand times or more Maybe it's the way... maybe I can never tell you That the love that had no room to breathe Lives on.... lives on in this song

THE GENTLE SPIRIT OF THE NIGHT The gentle spirit of the night Was sailing on a sea Who's waves were jiggled by the wind A storm was blowing in the north And winters cold had driven ice between her toes Her breath was glass Her hair was heavy with the spray She tuned and spoke a word of calm into the tempest's roar And called upon the shadow of the sun "Come lie beside me... Be my cloak of warmth Together we shall travel In the minds of those Whose slumber breaks on troubled shores And there amidst the tearing rage The shadow raised his arms in open form And held her in the place Where light had once adorned The power and fibre Of his tensing raw and naked pride A place where now A gentle, silent cradle Rocked her loving... Side to side

about

Ash Mandrake is known for his unusual guitars and eclectic show that he has toured around the UK for the last 15 years. Jenny Bliss is a multi-instrumentalist, specialising in classical baroque music and improvisation. She also plays jazz and many other genres, performing solo and with bands world wide.

I would have liked to include Jenny's beautiful version of The Leonard Cohen song "A Thousand Kisses Deep, but I don't know how to even begin trying to get the licenses required to satisfy the requirements for Band Camp, so here's a link to a video of a live performance on youtube.
