about

This is the last recording of Dave D Pickup

It was recorded a few weeks before he passed away

You don't need to pay anything but if you would like contribute towards the family in this difficult time you can name your price.

lyrics

I'm counting stars tonight
I'm watching airplanes flying on by
Now you're so far away
I've got so much I want to say

I can't sleep 'cause my heart won't stop beating
These walls confine me just focus on breathing

Everything I touch turns to stone
With everything I own
With everything I own
Everything I touch turns to stone
With everything I own
With everything I own

The clouds are flying by
Yeah as I write down these words tonight
Your smile lights up my life
Oh like fireworks in the sky

Everything I touch turns to stone
With everything I own
With everything I own
Everything I touch turns to stone
With everything I own
With everything I own

I sit awake
I'm watching you slip away
And I think to myself
We wouldn't make it anyway
We wouldn't make it anyway..

We wouldn't make it anyway
Oh we wouldn't make it anyway

Everything I touch turns to gold
With everything I owe
With everything I owe
Everything I touch turns to gold
With everything I owe
With everything I owe

This story's left untold and she will never know
(Oh yeah yeah)
This story's left untold and she will never know
and she will never know...
