Subject: Ian Lang From: Lizzie Cornish Date: 12 Jun 07 - 02:44 AM You know when you have one of those days on Myspace when you find a Diamond amongst the Pebbles? Well...here he is! :0) IAN LANG It's one of the many reasons why I so love Myspace. Suddenly you've found a whole new mind, a whole new talent..songs that connect with how you feel and make you sit on the edge of your chair listening. With Ian I loved the first song I heard, then I pressed on the second, the third and the fourth..and each and every single one was of the same depth. With 'Green Fingers' I found myself needing to write the lyrics down instantly, as it's such a very tender, beautifully written story song...You can literally see the people in that song, smell the scent of their garden, watch them whilst they think, work and dream in it....feel their love.... Here are those words: 'Green Fingers' by Ian Lang "There's laughter in her eyes and a spring in the old man's step As he says goodbye to those grey winter skies Another one that he hasn't done for a year Up at first light, whistling a tune as he knocks out his pipe And she watches at the door And wonders how she could ever want for more She sits at the porch and thinks back to those distant days When he told her that he carried a torch She knew what he meant and so she stayed And it took a little time It was a treasure she wanted fine It was well worth the wait It's well hidden but its' never found too late There's laughter in her eyes, it's still there after all they've seen And it's funny how the times flies One day you're leaving and next you've been And she watches him still Turning the soil under the April sky And she feels a chill One day soon it will be time And she calls out his name The kettle's on and there's rain on the way And though he complains There's nothing here that he would ever change" Isn't that just beautiful!

Subject: RE: Ian Lang From: Lizzie Cornish Date: 12 Jun 07 - 03:33 PM OK...Very slight alteration to the lyrics here...And THESE are the correct ones..with apologies to Ian for misquoting them above, here and there.. :0) 'Green Fingers' by Ian Lang "There's laughter in her eyes and a spring in the old man's step Said goodbye to those grey winter skies....another one hasn't done for him yet Up at first light, whistling a tune as he knocks out his pipe And she watches at the door....wonders how she could ever want for more She sits at the porch and thinks back to those distant days When he told her he carried a torch She knew what he meant and so she stayed It took a little time...it was a treasure she would one day find It was well worth the wait One day it's hidden....but its' never found too late She's laughter in her eyes, it's still there after all they've seen It's funny how the times flies One day you're leaving and the next you've been And she watches him still...turning the soil under an April sky She feels a chill...one day soon it'll be time She calls out his name The kettle's on and there's rain on the way And though he complains There's nothing here that he would ever change" One thing about correcting some of the words is that you get to listen to the song all over again...several times over. :0) And here is Ian's main site: NURSERY RECORDS |
