Walking down the road got soaked by the rain
and thought about our past.
It was only yesterday you finally spoke your mind
and said our love can't last.
Well you were my lover and best friend all in one.
I just can't believe you've really gone.
Walking down the road feeling kinda strange
and thinking of time gone by.
It was only yesterday you finally spoke your mind
and then said goodbye.
Well you were my lover and best friend all in one.
I just can't believe you've really gone.
Thinking about only yesterday and everything seemed alright.
Wonder what the future holds as I sit here alone tonight.
Walking down the road got soaked by the rain
and thought about our past.
It was only yesterday you finally spoke your mind
and said our love can't last.
Well you were my lover and best friend all in one.
I just can't believe you've really gone.
You've really gone. You've really gone.

The Good Old Days

He sits on his balcony in bright sunlight.
In summer he's there in the middle of the night.
He looks quite stressed and very much alone
as he waits in vain for anyone to phone.
But hey, wasn't his life better in the good old days.
Wasn't his life better in the good old days.
Inhaling real hard on his last cigarette.
He dreams of people he's never even met.
He's down on his luck with no work to do.
He's part of the growing unemployment queque.
But hey, wasn't his life better in the good old days.
Wasn't his life better in the good old days.
Stress is real hard when it gets hold of you.
He's tried meditation but he still feels blue.
He wishes he hadn't gone and messed up his life.
If only he hadn't gone and left his wife.
But hey, wasn't his life better in the good old days.
Wasn't his life better in the good old days.
In the good old days.

Is she truthful, is she bold.
Is she excitable or is she cold.
Is she kind, is she funny.
Is she after him or just his money.
In reality
she's a cynic so is he.
Go after her if you dare.
You won't find love there.
He's not happy, he's depressed.
He's not good but he's well dressed.
He's quite selfish and he's vain.
He smokes cigars and drinks Champagne.
In reality
he's a cynic so is she.
Go after him if you dare.
You won't find love there.
She's successful, she wants more.
She's so clever, she's a bore.
She works hard has too much stress.
She well knows she should drink less.
In reality
she's a cynic so is he.
Go after her if you dare.
You won't find love there.
He's sure ruthless, he's not nice.
He likes to win at any price.
He's quite mean has power to wield.
He can't relate but he's well heeled.
In reality
he's a cynic so is she.
Go after him if you dare.
You won't find love there.
You won't find love there.

Markham Monk Leipzig, Germany
I like all types of music.
American and British music have been my main influences.
I was drawn to
Country music when I lived and traveled in the USA during the early 1980s.
These days I am mainly drawn to writing music in a easy listening country pop style although I also like writing in a slightly more country rock or pop rock style.

Nostalgia brings a beautiful peace. Annika's songwriting is melancholic but comforting as with her singing, delicate and angelic. The Cello is heart melting and the vocal harmonies and guitar playing are enchanting. That's why I love this album.
