Daddy's Riding The Range

Oh my child
Walk in your prairie dreams
Shining dawn
Whispers of worlds you'll see
Now it's dusk
Darkness has killed the fire
I must ride
She calls me into my night

And you're leaving me cold as ice

Daddy's riding the range
In the toy cowboy suit
That his mother bought for him
Leaving, he won't stop loving you
Now that he's riding
The trail of the lone star

When you cry
I'll send the sun down to you
When you're lost
I'll spin the world round for you
 

Daddy's Riding The Range. This is pretty much a JE number but I did come up with the verse and bridge melodies. It is interesting to note that the first recording of this song was a quite beautiful acoustic version, beautifully arranged and wonderful to sing, not to say that the CD cut isn't great as well, it's just different but I do wish the original had been put on the record as well. Wonderful Land. Another JE number. All I really did on this was help tie the song up, it was a bit vague and Andy didn't seem too sure what he wanted so I threw a few alternative melodies at the bridge and chorus and, hey presto we had it in the 'can' (man).
