I Must Go Now

by Dom Reynolds

/

about

A laid back but groovy, pensive and nostalgic blues/jazz song about a breakup between two people who still love each other.

lyrics

Oh, I must go now,
How I’ve been here so long,
I do not know now.
Low days should be gone through,
Then the both of you,
See worth in parting.

Larking about together
On the white cliffs of Dover,
Beneath the chalk face, the foaming waves dance.

Waters, fresh and saline, in flirtation,
Their solemn obligation:
Total devotion.
Stormy seas in tantrum,
Hold out a heavy ransom:
Coastal erosion.

Larking about together
On the white cliffs of Dover,
At Poseidon’s pleasure, the white horses prance.

The banality of finality,
Meetings met.
And yet,
If you never say never
We can be together.
I must go, I should go.

Larking about together
On the white cliffs of Dover,
Beneath the chalk face, the foaming waves dance.

Larking about together
On the white cliffs of Dover,
At Poseidon’s pleasure, the white horses prance.

Larking about and over
The white cliffs of Dover,
This pristine friendship has lost its romance.

I must go.

My name is Dom Reynolds and I'm a singer-songwriter, musician, audio engineer and tutor.

I am currently writing and recording with Belgium-born musician Jozef Birling.

Once we discovered that we have similar musical and artistic tastes, and that our original songs fitted well together, we created newly-penned songs in an eclectic but rootsy style.
