The Gypsy Boy Blues – ROBERT HINCHLIFFE
I lie awake at night, thinking of wrong and right,
Four walls, an empty room, six strings, a guitar tune,
East winds, can blow so hard, stake running through my heart,
Down in the bottom of the night…
Take me down, take me down, to the world that I know,
Take me down, take me down, to the valleys I call home,
Yet I still play, the gypsy boy blues.
White sheets, and jet black hair, so I remember her,
Maybe a year or more, see a caller at her door,
Silver, alas good bye, sometimes I wonder why,
Down in the bottom of the night…
Take me down, take me down, to the world that I know,
Take me down, take me down, to the valleys I call home,
Yet I still play, the gypsy boy blues.
The moon up high, across a river so wide,
Shines a deep silver eye, on this grey city line,
With love in our hearts, joy in our souls,
Six ways to turn, only one way we go,
The things we begin, the things we can’t start,
When the fingers of dawn,
Day break, a half past four, morning knocking on my door,
Summer nights, so insane, spots upon my window pain,
Turn my head, sleep some more, will I wake, I can’t be sure,
Down in the bottom of the night.
Take me down, take me down, to the world that I know,
Take me down, take me down, to the valleys I call home,
Yet I still play, the gypsy boy blues.

Mary Jane – ROBERT HINCHLIFFE
Mary Jane, Mary Jane, in your eyes I feel the pain,
Your so happy, your so blue,
I see trouble when I look at you,
Yeh I see trouble when I look at you
Mary Jane, Mary Jane, I see that look I know the game,
The things you tell me, I think there true, your legs are long, and I’m drawn to you
Yeh your legs are long and I’m drawn to you
Watching the world, a glow on your hand,
Nobody there to understand,
The sun goes up, the days go by, ooh
Mary Jane, Mary Jane, in your eyes I feel the pain,
Your so happy, your so blue, Oh I see trouble when I look at you,
Oh your legs are long, I’m drawn to you
Oh your legs are long…and I’m
Why am I standing this close to you…..

Strange Affair – ROBERT HINCHLIFFE
She’s takin her dream, and traveling away,
Off on a journey, sets off today,
All of her love, I don’t understand,
Mixed up emotions…., rain in the sand.
W-O-h my love, what a strange affair, burning deep, in a soul somewhere.
She’ll follow through the sunshine, so bright in her eyes,
Follow the in the moonlight, feel so alive,
She’ll laugh in the wind, and hide from the rain,
I doubt I will ever see her again.
W-O-h my love, what a strange affair, burning deep, in a soul somewhere.
W-O-h my love, what a strange affair, burning deep, in a soul somewhere.
She’s says she must go now, she says she must leave,
Start a new chapter, turn a new leaf,
A wheel that keeps turning, takes her farther away,
I doubt she will ever come back this way.
W-O-h my love, what a strange affair, burning deep, in a soul somewhere.
Oh my love, when the shadows grow,
Will your mind return, to this place you called home?

The Midnight Train – ROBERT HINCHLIFFE
Well I’m sittin by the station, waiting for the midnight train,
Listening to my heartbeat, wondering where I left my brains,
Feet upon my suite case, wondering where they’ll take me too,
Tryin not to believe it, l-o-r-d, although I know it’s true,
So I’m sitting by the station, waiting for the midnight train.
Now my momma told me, son, now don’t you lose control,
Trying to move a mountain, I think you’ll find it costs your soul,
Your face is looking gaunt, your eyes are looking far away,
You’d better take a cold bath, your dreaming your life away,
So I’m sitting by the station, waiting for the midnight train.
Now my Daddy told me, son, we’ve got a plan for you,
You gonna be an executive, do the things we tell you too,
Dress like a film star, gonna a drive a brand-new car,
Move like a tiger, squeeze like the snake you are,
So I’m sitting by the station, waiting for the midnight train,
Oh sitting by the station, waiting for the midnight train,
Yeh waiting for the midnight,
waiting for the midnight,
waiting for the midnight,
waiting for the m-i-d-n-i-g-h-t train.

Borrowed Time – ROBERT HINCHLIFFE
Take it easy, we’d better relax,
Get the world, off our back,
We used to have a problem, now it’s gone.
Waiting for some-one, to find an answer,
Bin livin on borrowed time,
Yeh we’ve bin livin on borrowed time.
Now my sweet lady, drives a black sedan,
She walks like a woman, she drinks like a man,
She paints her charm, on every face she meets,
Just waitin for some-one to find an answer,
Bin livin on borrowed Time
O-o-h we’ve bin livin on borrowed time.
Without a care, without a worry, well not get tied down…
Take it easy better relax,
Get the world off our back,
We used to have a problem, now it’s gone,
Waitin for some-one to find an answer,
We’ve bin livin on borrowed time,
Oh livin on borrowed time,
Bin livin on borrowed time,
Yeh Livin on borrowed time.

I’ll Follow Your Dreams – ROBERT HINCHLIFFE
Dressed like the fool, no money in our coat,
Over the bridge, where a stream flows,
Sat on a bank, played to the stars,
Sang of a life, still yet to start.
So long ago, if I could stand by your side,
Hear the stream flow, on a warm summer night,
Listen to the tunes, and the chords that we play,
For the strings of my heart, bend with it today.
I’ll follow your dreams, so precious to hold,
Let me start back again, I won’t let them go,
Put a song on my voice, take a pain from my heart,
Oh give me tonight, to make a new start,
The sky, is still blue, clouds far away,
Songs that we sang, still haunt me today,
So time moves so fast, but time moves so slow,
When hearts speak to souls, first born long ago.
Let me follow your dreams, so precious to hold,
Let me start back again, I won’t let them go,
Put a song on my voice, take a pain from my heart,
Oh give me tonight, to make a new start,
I’ll follow your dreams, so precious to hold,
Let me start back again, I won’t let them go,
Put a song on my voice, take a pain from my heart,
Oh give me tonight, to make a new start,
Yeh give me tonight, to make a new start

Our Wings On Fire - Robert Hinchliffe
Right back at the start, it was a different game,
You laughed at my jokes, cried in my hair,
Shame time won’t go back, maybe things would work out,
But I’m no more a fool, under your thumb.
I gazed to the sky, never ends,
You lay on the ground.., so far away,
I couldn’t say why, .., something gave up inside,
We gave so much to live…, and love that way.
Luceal say wh-y-y-y, Our wings on f-i-r-e,
Our time has g-o-n-e, Our loves undone.
You never knew why, I couldn’t explain
You never saw green, I couldn’t see red,
Darkness and light, all wrapped up inside,
The knot ran tight, and we can’t work it loose.
Luceal say wh-y-y, Our wings on f-i-r-e,
Our time has g-o-n-e, Our loves undone.

I Don’t Play Sad Songs – ROBERT HINCHLIFFE
In the mornin, I wake and I’m yawning,
Feelin good, lookin like I should,
Cos I don’t play, those sad songs no-more.
The sun is shinin, I can see the silver lining,
Glad to say, I left it all behind me,
Cos I don’t play those sad songs no -more.
Oh when I’m going down, or feeling lonely,
I just pack all my blues records away.
I lost all the bad times, I don’t need Miss Billie Holiday
(though she sure is good….)
In the mornin, I wake and I’m yawning,
Feelin happy, I whistle and I’m laughin,
Cos I don’t play those sad songs no more.
Forget the news, it just gives me the blues,
Its all the same, just another day,
Oh I don’t play those, sad songs no-more.
Oh don’t let me play, those sad songs no more.
Oh when I’m going down, or feeling lonely,
I just pack all my blues records away.
Cos I don't play those sad songs no more.

When Cannons Roar No More – ROBERT HINCHLIFFE
Where green fields touch the sky,
Under the velvet night,
I meet you on the diamond shore,
When cannons roar no more.
When cannons roar no more
We’ll find rainbows in a jar,
Chase the nights first shooting star,
I’ll see you on the diamond shore,
When cannons roar no more.

Robert Hinchliffe Sheffield, UK
I started playing guitar, at the age of around 14. I also play the bass guitar, Hammond organ, and piano, but guitar is my main instrument and I guess obsession. Originally, I played acoustic guitar in folk clubs. Since then I've also played blues, rock and some jazz. ... more
