Lyrics and songs by Eric Bray

Eric writes: “Over the past year I worked with producers and musicians mainly in the US to create a bit of fusion between my interests in Latin dance music and folk/rock.’

******************

The title track ‘Just Like This’ runs as follows: (for the music, check out this youtube page)

Waking to the morning light
Lying there wondering why
This is so easy to forget

I want to walk the streets like this
Under crimson clouds
your kiss your kiss

Lying on our backs like this
Laughing at the stars so far out of reach
Like this, just like this.

Beautiful Venus shining so bright
You ask where
The wonder goes

We stand and share a smile
I take your hand
And into the night we go

Into the night
Into the night
We go

Into the night
Into the night
Into the night
Where the wonder goes

I want to fall asleep like this
In your arms like this
Like this just like this
Like this like this

Eric writes:’ Two of our esteemed local Kyoto musicians, Gary Tegler on sax and Dale Ward on acoustic guitar, play on the Jazz/Blues track “Love you Enough”.’ (Listen on youtube here.)

You’re sitting there crying say you don’t know why
Got that thinking about leaving look in your eye
What the hell is wrong tonight
Not even sure I want to know why this time
This time………This time

Watch your step on this rocky road
I’m doing my best so that we don’t fall
But if you want to run away
I can’t promise that I’ll say please stay this time
This time…This time..This time

Wind and Rain, Stones and Fire
Can’t keep me satisfied
I need your touch, need your desire
I need your sweet little hand in mine
In mine….this time.

Watch your step on this slippery slope
I’m doing my best to share the load
If you want to leave, you better know
That I might love you enough to let you go
Let you go…This time

Wind and Rain, Stones and Fire
Can’t keep me satisfied
I need your touch, need your desire
I need your sweet little hand in mine
In mine….in mine

If you want to leave, there’s something you better know
That I might love you enough to let you go
Let you go…This time

Why Why Baby, Goodbye?

For the music, click here.)

I got a few dollars but I’m short on sense
Cuz I’ve been dying to see you again
It’s good I got my friends
To talk me out of trying

Cuz you didn’t treat me so well
But I tell myself what the hell
There ain’t nobody that’s ever loved me
The way that you did

And it’s for the better I know
That you finally had to go
But could you please return my heart and soul
And some of the minor appliances

Where did I go wrong
How can I move on
When I’m not really sure why
You said goodbye, goodbye
Why why baby, goodbye?

I’d love to see you again
I guess that shows to what extent
I ain’t even started to find my way again
without you

Newspapers all out on the lawn
Sinks full of dishes since your gone
And I just can’t seem
To give a damn

And it’s for the better I know
That you finally had to go
But could you please return my heart and soul
And some of the minor appliances

Where did I go wrong
How can I move on
When I’m not really sure why
You said goodbye

Where did I go wrong
How can I move on
Could you just tell me one more time
Why you’re saying goodbye, goodbye
Why why baby, goodbye?
