Empty Train

"To me, song writing is a fortunate affliction. I enjoy hearing lyrics come to life. Some of the songs contained here have waited a while to be born, to have life breathed into them. All made it onto the train thanks to my bandmates Mark, Chris and Darren. I could never have made the trip without them." ~ David Francey
