An amateur Songwriter/Musician a work in progress

I've played in a few cover bands, started off playing lead guitar ended up playing bass, drums and even keyboards a few times and although it was fun never had any great success. I'm now more of an amateur song writer and trying very hard to come up with some songs that might impress someone enough to want to record them.

Story behind the song

A WWI love song

Lyrics

Passchendaele Rain - by Steve Salterszo ©Pinetree Music®2012


1.
Under the tree by the brook
A young lady sits and waits
For her true love to return
From Hells gates
She thinks back to that day
As the war train did depart
How sweetly he kissed her goodbye
And said with a heavy heart

c.
Fair thee well my true love
I hope we'll meet again
As he disappeared through the mist of
 Passchendaele Rain

2.
She received his first letter
As summertime ushered in
But no warmth could be found from
The sad words  within
He was holding back the truth
But she felt his suffering
And she wrote him right back
Trying to stop the tears from falling

c.
Fair thee well my true love
May my love keep you sane
And his tears began to fall like
Passchendaele Rain

3.
The whistles filled the air
And thunder shook the ground
As he went over the top
Clasping her letters that he'd bound
As the smoke finally cleared
The young man lay peaceful and still
As he fell by his friends side
He breathed his last words on that hill

c.
Fair thee well my true love
I'm at peace and feel no pain
For you'll find me waiting for you neath the 
Passchendael Rain
