Armorel is starting to plan her album of our jazzish tunes. This demo version was cut 10 years ago with Julia Doyle on double bass and Frank Hall on drums.

Give Me My Own
© Gibbens/Weston
I gave you loving,
Y ou gave me none.
You were my joy dear,
I was your fun.
Don’t come around here,
Or telephone.
You took your heart back,
Give me my own.
Give me my own.
Decry misfortune
Until you’re hoarse,
Regret won’t change things,
Nor will remorse.
You could have helped me.
Those days have flown.
You follow your way,
I’ll find my own.
I’ll find my own.
And when I get there
I’ll find someone
To love me more than
You did or can.
You made me tremble,
You made me moan.
You lost that fire.
I’ll light my own.
I’ll light my own.
Perhaps one day we’ll
Look back and smile
At how we danced on
That crooked mile.
Time heals the wounds made
By sticks and stones
But your word’s broken.
I kept my own.
I kept my own.
I saw you passing
With friends of ours.
The sun shone brightly
Between two showers
And you smiled brightly,
That smile I’ve known.
You follow your way.
I’ll find my own.
I’ll take my own.
