This next song, is a song I had the honour to record with the great American rhythm and blues artist, Ray Charles
It’s called Baby grand
Late at night, when it's dark and cold
I reach out for someone to hold
When I'm blue
When I'm lonely, she comes through
She's the only one who can
My baby grand, is all I need
In my time, I've wandered everywhere around this world
She would always be there
Any day
Any hour
All it takes is the power in my hands
This baby grand 's been good to me
I've had friends, but they have slipped away
I've had fame, but it doesn't stay
I've made fortunes
Spent them fast enough
As for women, they don't last with just one man
But my baby grand, is gonna' stand by me
They say that no one's gonna play this on the radio
They said the melancholy blues were dead and gone
But only songs like these
Played in minor keys, keep those memories holding on
Now, I've come far, from the life I've strayed in
I've got scars, from those dives I've played in Now I'm home
And I'm weary in my bones
Every dreary one night stand
My baby grand, is comin' home with me, yeah with me
And ever since this gig began
My baby grand 's been good to
Said to the world… me
Me, eee…
Yeah, he
Ooh ho ho ho
