House By The Sea (Man Of My Dreams)

I started 2 songs, about a year apart, and come up with a similar melody and found that the vocals could be adapted for both songs.

This version came about when I played around with a Celtic rhythm and loved the dynamic sound. It reminded me of Steeleye Span, so I set about creating a digital fiddle track of around 1,000 notes. It took weeks of trial and error to complete it, but it makes the song what it is.

Lyrics

House By The Sea (Girl Of My Dreams)

V1

Come away come away come away with me

Said the girl of my dreams

We can walk we can talk it’s a mile or three

we can be on our own at my house by the sea.

V2

So we set off across all the fields of hay

On a hot sunny day

We walked and we talked as we made our way

To the house by the sea and a view of the bay

Chorus

It was a summer long ago and I really didn’t know

What it was to be in love

I just knew I’d found my girl this is how it all began

At the house by the sea

V3

She was sweet she was kind as he sat next to me

A glint in her eye

She smiled at me and I smile right back

My heart beating fast at the house by the sea

V4

With the touch of her hair and her scent in the air

I drew her close to me

We looked and we laughed as we made our way

To the room up the stairs at the house by the sea

Chorus 2

It was a summer long ago when I first encountered love

With the girl of my dreams

I just knew I’d found my girl as we lay there side by side

At the house by the sea
