One of the more simple, acoustic songs on Jetlag Chronicles, my 2005 release. Just two guitars, strings (cello &violin), no drums.

Written by Mike Gibbons

You're so frustrating
You keep me up all night and
Sometimes I think I've gone insane
Cause here I am now
Back on the road to you and
I guess I just can't stay away
But lately I've been thinking this is probably not the time and
This is probably not the place
But there is something that keeps telling me that down the line there
Will come a time we'll cross our ways
(chorus)
Oh and Yea this kind of life
You leave me laughing in the rain
And yea this kind of life
I just don't have the words to say
The words and......
(verse2)
I've kept wondering
Why I've been sticking round
Am I just asking for some pain?
But I believe in all you are
Though I think you're crazy
I'd stand beside you anyway
But for awhile it's time to carry on and not look backwards
Until you're there in front of me
And if and when that moment comes to leave us standing speechless
Well then I guess it's meant to be...to be and
(chorus)
Yea this kind of life
You leave me laughing in the rain
And yea this kind of life
I just don't have the words to say
The words and.....
(bridge)
This living
And breathing
And taking in this life and
This dreaming and doing
Becoming all we might
And in letting go of what holds us back
Forgetting regretting to learn from the past
There will come a time when all this will come together
Someday....and someday
(chorus)
Yea this kind of life
You leave me laughing in the rain
And yea this kind of life
I just don't have the words to say no no the words to say
The words to say.... x

I LOVE this. So basic, so simple...but so powerful. Bare bones real music. I really like the vocals, and it hits home. You'll have this in your head all day, trust me.
