Here's a song which started life on the Isle of Wight, UK, while I was there in the Summer and missing my guitar, so I went out and bought a second hand Fender DG-15 acoustic for 40 quid and while noodling with it a chordal riff emerged, which really forms the basis of the whole song. I then discovered Paul's great lyrics, and this is the final result of a great collaboration... Many thanks to all of you who contributed to this:

The Sound of Wings Woodford/Dempsey 2009
Intro/Inst
(v1)
Every time I'm near you, When I sense you're close
My spirits, they are lifted, lifted oh so high
My heart begins to pound, I feel such wonderous things
There's a rustling of feathers
And the sound of wings
Inst
(v2)
And every time I hear you, hear you calling me
It's like a lover's song, reaching out for me
Ringing out so beautifully, your voice for me it sings
Among a rustling of feathers
And the sound of wings
(Chorus)
And now we're soaring, the wind is lifting, lifting us to a higher place
There's no worries, there's no fear, no hesitation, not a trace
Our bodies are pressing, our lips are touching and I love the taste
I am all yours and it's so thrilling wrapped in your embrace
Guitar Solo
Inst
(v3)
In times when I reflect on you, when I feel your love
I'll be so thankful to you, when I feel your love
It's all I'll ever need and what a smile it brings
Among a rustling of feathers
And the sound of wings
(Chorus)
And now we're soaring, the wind lifting, lifting us to a higher place
There's no worries, there's no fear, no hesitation, not a trace
Our bodies pressing, our lips are touching and I love the taste
I am all yours and it's so thrilling wrapped in your embrace
Inst
(v4)
We'll be together always, and our love will see us through
I'm feeling your love, as you feel my love for you
And as we play our song of joy, on vibrant heart strings
We hear a rustling of feathers
And the sound of wings
