Broken

Broken 

First recorded 15 April 1994 on Midi and called One Moment. Re-recorded using Roland JunoG Keyboard in 2010, then in 2017 using Sonar re- mixed using better quality piano and strings vsts (Dimension Pro)...renamed as Broken.

It is an emotional piece and works if the original, less than perfect, timing is retained. Quantization did not work on the piano parts.

Mr Tom Cat chords
verse 1
I'm standing by the window sill
watching the dark draw in
not knowing when your coming home
sipping on my gin
I should just maybe watch TV
to stop me thinking stories
I'm swimming, I'm sinking, I'm drowning Mr Tom Cat

verse 2
I'm cooking you a nice fresh meal
recipe from Master Chef
I've cleaned the house, vacuumed up and down
not a speck of dust anywhere
I should just maybe read a book
to stop me feeling anxious
I'm swimming, I'm sinking, I'm drowning Mr Tom Cat

bridge
Its been 40 days and 40 nights since you went away
and now it's time to come on home
Hoping that my horoscope prediction turns out right
opening the door so
come to meet me
come to greet me
come inside
Mr Tom Cat

Solo - bridge
verse 3
Walking by the riverside, reflections pass me by
together walking hand in hand, lovers to my eye
I should just maybe stop right now, reality or deception?
I'm swimming, I'm sinking, I'm drowning Mr Tom Cat
I'm swimming, I'm sinking, I'm drowning Mr Tom Cat
