Whilst strolling with my 12 string Seagull in the late summer sunflower fields above the Rhine in Germany (as you do), Olivia filmed me playing an impromptu performance of “You Whisper” (from Art Attack, 1988), incidentally the most requested song of mine to learn by my sessioneers in the Songwriting & Guitar Guidance sessions:

Thunder opens its throat
It lets out the roar of rain
Soaked I clench my overcoat
And come up to see you again
Your smoothly sculptured neck
The trapped curving tongue
Your cage of a mouth springs open
And throws out the seeds of a song
They grow and flower
And hour after hour
Blessed velvet
You whisper
The world a slave to your look
Your shapely almond tears
Your marzipan skin in a crystal stare
Your chocolate box of fears
The load off my mind
The pointed beating pulse
Stabbing instead my thumping head
This famousness is false
You glow and glint
I blink, you wink
(In) ice polished silk
You whisper
