Robert Duncan Martin
In November 2007 I looked in the window of a Gallery in Canterbury, in Kent England, in the window was a typewritten notice, I ignored it but my friend told me to look at it. The noticed asked for musicians, so I went in and introduced my self. I was speaking to Robert Duncan Martin. He said "I have some poems please write some music for them and turn them into songs. I like this instant rapport it saves such a lot of time. In the player above you can hear some of these songs. We will turn them into an album and we have some other projects in mind.
Dreamfall Dreamthaw G D Of all the scenes, my love, in white G Which one inspires my full delight C In beauty haunting me in view G D G From my longing, longing for you D G From my longing, longing for you
A Cherry orchard bearing scent In blossom-time from rural Kent ? An April Wonderland to bring More hopes like flowers opening More hopes like flowers opening
A forest brought to life in all The long-awaited fresh snowfall ? As leafless silver birches stand Enchanted as in Fairyland Enchanted as in Fairyland
But the greatest soul-warming sight Comes clear with you apparelled in white A bride in your lace wedding dress Close in my dream of happiness Close in my dream of happiness
A view that vanishes with all The petals in the blossom fall And in the global warming here The snow melts with my hopes, my dear, The snow melts with my hopes, my dear.

Frozen Sweet, Sweet Alone D7 G My life felt like a Christmas tree D7 C Stripped bare when you rejected me G And pulled the ribbons from my heart D7 With all my dreams ripped, torn apart C Alone again, G So empty on this barren plain
Once all the lights on full display Shone in my hopes and dreams, but they Went out as you said no, and cast My life in darkness from the past In all the rain So empty on this barren plain.
Once all the bells in harmony Rang out my dreams of you and me But never wedding bells, and they Fell silent as you turned away. I pined in pain, So empty on this barren plain.
But in silent darkness, freezing here, I feel the sugar snowflakes, dear, Falling on one sad Christmas tree As you, my love, are haunting me And I will stay So full of you from far away

Bloomless Fragrances (Guitar play open Am Shape on 7th fret sounds Dm) Em7 Like a rose in fleeting flower A7 D You once bloomed to me G A7 D I inhaled your scent though our G Em7 A7 Friendship loyally G A7 D Friendship loyally
But When Someone came to share All Your Company You were closed to this my care And were closed to me And were closed to me
You have opened wide elsewhere Far away from me You have opened wide to share All his company All his company
Like a scent without a Flower You are haunting me I inhale your scent through our Times from Memory Times from memory
Composed in Die Gute Stusse (Bar) Pfarrstrasse, Stuttart, Germ,any 13 September 2003
With You in Every Tree Em From fear in adulthood Bm I view your painted wood Am Drawing my thoughts and heart Em Forward into your art. A G F# Once through your woodland scene A G F# I find a fresh and green A G F# Haven where hazels grow G Gm D From sometime long ago Em I wander safe and free Bm Among the trees in me Em A child again to roam The garden woods at home. A G F# Little Red Riding Hood A G F# Runs fearless through the wood A G F# Hansel and Grettel are G Gm D Safe now to wander far.
From all the threats posed by The dark city - all my Soul came in the light through art And found this peace of heart - With you for company, My friend protecting me Safe in the forest free With you in every tree.

Only With Love Am E Your flowing long hair Am E Caught my eye at once my dear Am E Your beauty sowed hope in my heart F Am F Am You were called simply "longed for" and here D7 Am I felt roses right from the start Dm I felt roses Am Roses Dm Am E7 And still all my heart Am Is filled only with love E7 Am Only with love.
Your flowing long hair Flaps in fragrances, my dear, Your distance still keeps me apart You remain far, but longing from here I feel roses pressed in my heart Pressed in my heart
