about

I first heard this song done by Snowman Dave at SoundCloud on his page, and was so taken by it, that I had to approach Fivos (the composer) and Snowman Dave (the lyricist) for their approval of my attempts at doing the song in my own way - lyric-wise!
Then I also employed the assistance of Graeme Robertson (VORTEXIA) - also on soundcloud, to help me with the sound of my vocals.
Thank you, too, Graeme, for your most invaluable help!
It's taken some time, but at last it is done.
I'm so pleased to be able to sing this song.
A BIG thank you to all involved.

lyrics

Fivos Valachis - NIGHTLY WALKER - Feat. Snowman Dave, Raine Carosin
ORIGINAL LYRICS - SNOWMAN DAVE
LYRIC ADAPTATION - RAINE CAROSIN

WHEN HE WAS YOUNGER
HE DID NOT SEEK LOVE
HE WAS MORE FOOLISH
MORE A FOOL THAN NOW
HE HAD SUCH PRIDE THEN
NO MOUNTAIN WAS HIGHER
THAN HE WOULD CLIMB TO
REACH FOR THE STARS

AND THEN WHEN LOVE FOUND HIM
THOUGH HIS STAR HAD FALLEN
NO LONGER THE MAN
WHO HELD HIS WHOLE WORLD
IN HIS OWN HANDS NOW
NO LONGER SO PROUD
OR SO INDEPENDENT
ONCE SO SELF ASSURED
BUT NO NOT THEN, HE'S NOT AT ALL

SHE SHOWED HIM TRUE LOVE
WITH NO PRE-CONDITIONS
A LOVE SO PURE
HE GAVE (HER) HIS HEART

NOW THAT HE'S FOUND LOVE
LIFE IS SO DIFFERENT
HER LOVE HAS SAVED HIM
FROM BEING THE MAN HE ONCE WAS
HE'S SO ASHAMED NOW

HE ONCE WAS SO COLD
AND SO INDIFFERENT
TO THE HEARTACHE HE'D CAUSED
TO THE ONE'S WHO'D ONCED LOVED
AND THE ONE'S WHO'D ONCE BLED FOR HIM

...BUT WHO WAS HE DECEIVING
BY BELIEVING HIS OWN LIES
NOW LOOKING BACK HE SEES
THE ONE THROWING AWAY LOVE
WAS ONLY HIM

...BUT THE GAMES THAT HE WAS PLAYING
THE GODS OF LOVE THEY WATCHED THEM ALL
THEY PLANNED HIS DOWNFALL
AND SENT LOVE ONCE MORE TO RETRIEVE HIM

IT WAS ALL LAID OUT IN THEIR PLANS
OUR FAITH THEY GUIDE US ALL
ONES DESTINED TO FIND TRUE LOVE
ONES DESTINED TO LIVE ALONE

AS MORTALS WE MAKE OUR PLAN
WATCHED BY THE GODS EACH DAY
THEIR MUSIC OF LOVE IS PLAYED
LIKE AN ORCHESTRA NOW THEY PLAY US

SELECTING EACH NOTE THAT IS PLAYED
LIKE THE MUSIC OF YOUR DREAMS
THE GODS OF LOVE SELECT EACH KEY
FOR THE SCENE YOU PLAY IN
