A soft breeze sweeps across Torbay

Geoffrey draws in the sand

Creating beautiful beach art

Skillfully with his hand

Geoffrey Ward the Sandy man

With his trusty old rake

Counting footsteps in the sand

He never seems to make a mistake

Creating symmetrical patterns

On Abbey Sands at low tide

The tourists look on in pleasure

At the artwork he does provide

Geoffrey Ward the Sandy man

With his trusty old rake

Counting footsteps in the sand

He never seems to make a mistake

He's had no artistic training

Sand carving with ability

At low tide you will find him

On Abbey Sands in Torquay

Geoffrey Ward the Sandy man

With his trusty old rake

Counting footsteps in the sand

He never seems to make a mistake

Songs For Mental Health Compilation by Sounds On The Couch

A song called 'Single and Alone' that I composed several years has been included in a Sounds on the Couch Youtube compilation. I think it was recorded when I was playing guitar in my band called Session 75 that formed from the last version of the Morrisons. This must be about 10 years ago, just before I started recording my first Richard III concept album with Lord Zarquon. Steve Ley is playing drums on the recording and all of the other instruments are played by me. I must admit that I was quite surprised to find out that it has been included in the Sounds on the Couch Songs For Mental Health Youtube compilation. My song is the third one in the playlist and starts about 7 minutes, 20 seconds from the beginning of the playlist.
