about

This is almost the original mix, featuring all of Richard's demo lead guitar and intro that was to be filled in later by the incredible Phil Keaggy. Phil's BG vocals are still in, and his work on the 'What A Day' section.

lyrics

SINGING TO US WHILE IT HURTS
Lyrics and Music: Richard Cummins c.2006

I can’t wait to hear you sing, play your guitar,
And the joy you bring

And if you’d like, I’ll sing along
I really do like singing your songs

Pre Chorus:
But I just can’t help but shout aloud
Though I’m just one in this crowd
Watching all the moves you make
Never hearing a mistake
Wishing only I could be
Such a friend of jubilee

Chorus:
And I know you hate being so far away from home
Having to put this all first
I just wanted to say, “Thank you for stopping by”
And singing to us while it hurts (2x)

Now tonight I hear you sing,
But your guitar has a different ring

The songs you sing you sing alone
Thoughts wandering back to the hotel phone…

Still I just can’t help but shout aloud
As you play ‘slave’ to this crowd
Watching all the moves you make
Never seeing a mistake
Wishing only I could be
Such a friend of jubilee

And I know you hate being so far away from home
Having to put the song first
I just wanted to say, “Thank you for stopping by”
And singing to us while it hurts (2x)

Solo

And I know you hate being so far away from home
Selling CD’s and your shirts
I just wanted to say, “Thank you for stopping by”
And singing to us while it hurts (2x)

Richard Cummins first sang with his Mother on a home made tape when he was roughly 3 years old, in tune. She, having grown up on 50's rockabilly and country icons like Loretta Lynn, taught Richard the guitar at an early age. But it was upon his discovery of the Beatles that made Richard obsess over music, learning guitar, bass, piano & drums and writing boxes full of songs. ... more
