Continuing my archive series on YouTube, here is another tune for your enjoyment. This one was originally recorded on my 2016 album "The Great Unknown". Ostensibly about homelessness, it is more generally about the need for us all to stay by each other's side, especially in times of darkness.
For those who might like to follow along, here are the lyrics:
STAY BY MY SIDE Words and music by Ken Dunn © 2016
An old man in the dawn, just a running from the wild dogs
In the mist of Marrakesh, you thank your Djellaba for your flesh
CHORUS: Stay by my side, won’t you stay by my side ? (x4)
An old woman all alone, with a shopping cart - her own
She’s the mother of the street, not someone that you wanna meet
CHORUS
Put a twenty in the ladies jar, slipped away into my car
Texting on my new iPhone, hashtag honey I’m a coming home
CHORUS
Passing by that electric gate, where my cottage awaits
It’s just another day, before the people have their say
CHORUS
