This is a delightful departure from my norm. I’ve always loved the Wayfarer cloud, and suggested a collaboration. DG sent me this powerful, haunting music, and the whole song lyric was written within a few hours of listening to it. This is the first time I’ve written something to another piece of music. Thanks a million for such a pleasurable and novel experience, DG. Such a joy working with you on this!

Me: Lyrics and vocal
Cloudy Charlie (Brian Peters/Dirk Gilleard)
Night crawls round your corner
Opens up an eye
Swallows all the colour
Of your life
Better read the sign
Written in the sand
Get yourself together
The hour is at hand
Cloudy Charlie calling
Down your cul-de-sac
Leave the blizzard howling
At your back
Wilderness in tatters
Moon has turned to blood
The living have been scattered
Before the final flood
*Sunlight has been broken
Pieces on the way
Sleep with one eye open
Until Judgement Day*
Leave one in the chamber
Get your running sack
Eat the bread of danger
Never turn back
