about

Dave came up with the music. Then Erin wrote some words, and sang them over the top. Hey presto - a song! Triggered by a mysterious character who Erin often saw at various locations about our town. A suspected forgotten soul suffering from dementia or Alzheimer's. And that there is sometimes all you need for the imagination to run wild with possibilities. This songs original title ("The Man On The Bridge") was used instead, for the name of this project, because Dave needed a name to use, or to go out under. Which made sense, considering the whole studio idea was a collaboration between Dave & Erin.

lyrics

Words Bardwell / Music Clifton

Wondering these streets of this town
I tried to talk, he walked away

One of the many lost souls
Man on the bridge
Whats he talking about
Man on the bridge

I tried to talk, he walked away
Staring horizon, the old canal path

I tried to talk he walked away
Where did he used to live
That man on the bridge
Sandals in the rain
To Murray John heights
The man on the bridge

Looking over the land
To a hive of activity
My old playground

Walking constantly, pacing
Now he can hardly speak

I tried to talk he walked away
Where did he come from
That man on the bridge
I tried to talk he walked away
Where does he live
That man on the bridge

Looking over the land
Looking over the land
Looking over the land
