*Sand and Water..*Nearly exactly 5 years ago my friend John Wright died due to a stroke.He was a wonderful singer, "the songwriters singer" as he never written one song by itself but preferred to sing those of others.Every song he did choose to sing he did gave his very own sound.We only met once, sometimes twice a year. Whenever some met him there were long hellos and short goodbyes and some beers, songs and stories inbetween.I miss him, but I'm glad that I still have his music - and I want to share with you.Here is his interpretation of "Sand and Water" originally by Beth Nielsen Chapman. Beware: it is a sad song for a sad day.John Wright - Sand and waterHere is the lyrics of this wonderful song:All alone I didn't like the feelingAll alone I sat and criedAll alone I had to find some meaningIn the center of the pain I felt insideAll alone I came into this worldAll alone I will someday dieSolid stone is just sand and water, babySand and water, and a million years gone byI will see you in the light of a thousand sunsI will hear you in the sound of the wavesI will know you when I come, as we all will comeThrough the doors beyond the graveAll alone I heal this heart of sorrowAll alone I raise this childFlesh and bone, he's justBursting towards tomorrowAnd his laughter fills my world and wears your smileAll alone I came into this worldAll alone I will someday dieSolid stone is just sand and water, babySand and water and a million years gone byBeth wrote this replacement third verse for Elton John...All alone I heal this heart of sorrowI can only live this dayFlesh and bone my life's bursting toward tomorrowAnd the love you send my heart still finds it's way #music #singersongwriter #singers #johnwright
