about

“Just a song about my home on the banks of the Dan River. As I say in the song; it’s my respite from all things un-pleasant!” Ron Martin

"I wrote the music thinking about Ron’s house, the Big Gray, in Eden, North Carolina. It’s a fantastic place, with a pond and squirrels climbing up the nearby trees. Mr. Jinks and Miss Lucy are a wonderful pair of geese that come back every year after the rigors of winter. Here there is a little bit of George Harrison and my love for the Beatles". Marco Zanzi

“Ho scritto la musica pensando alla casa di Ron, the Big Gray, a Eden in North Carolina. E’ un posto fantastico con tanto di laghetto e scoiattoli che si arrampicano sugli alberi intorno. Mr. Jinks e Miss Lucy sono una spendida coppia di anatre che ogni anno ritornano dopo i rigori dell’inverno. Qui c’è un po’ di George Harrison e del mio amore per i Beatles”. Marco Zanzi

lyrics

BIG GRAY
Music: Marco Zanzi
Lyrics: Ron Martin

On a hillside by the river
Stands a house that I call my home,
It is there I get my blessings
Get them from my God so high above

Writing songs’ my greatest passion
Hoping that someday they will be heard
Songs that come from deep within me
Songs that flow from my very soul

Big Gray is so full of my day dreams
Big Gray is so full of my heart
Big Gray is the bastion of the dreamer
The dreamer that is kept inside us all

It’s the home I will remember
Thru my days of pain and the fears
It’s my respite from the unknown
And thru the nights when I’m with my tears

In the pond there lives Miss Lucy
Mr. Jinks is there by her side
In the Spring they raise a family
Then fly away to places unknown

Big Gray is so full of my day dreams
Big Gray is so full of my soul
Big Gray is the bastion of the dreamer
The dreamer that is kept inside us all

On a hillside by the river
Stands a house that I call my home
It is there I get my blessings
Get them from my Lord so high above

Big Gray is so full of my day dreams
Big Gray is so full of my soul
Big Gray is the bastion of the dreamer
The dreamer that’s kept inside us all
