Name: Rocky Terrain
Duration: P00H03M24S
Description: The metaphorical traveling song tradition, the wandering bard and Dylanesque portrayal of the naive and innocent character, not quite sure of his memory as he spins his tale… which wonders again over the mystery of being. Simple 3 chord tradition also. That line, "I was wanderin…" occurred to me and I just went with it, flowing out, so right.

The metaphorical traveling song tradition, the wandering bard and Dylanesque portrayal of the naive and innocent character, not quite sure of his memory as he spins his tale… which wonders again over the mystery of being. Simple 3 chord tradition also. That line, "I was wanderin…" occurred to me and I just went with it, flowing out, so right.

lyrics

I was wanderin destination not known
sleepin at night under the sky and alone
visible only to those who roam this rocky terrain

2.

I was travelin I think I was travelin east
it was early mornin I think on the island of Crete
I asked the first farmer where do I put down a seed
in this rocky terrain

3.

I was wonderin which of the roads leads to where
and should I take one or should I enchanted stay here
options shimmer light filling air here and beyond
this rocky terrain
