ALL THE SANDS IN CAIRO

This song I wrote around about 1991. Hard to be more precise but it was in with a batch of country songs and around the same time as tracks like Old Guitars. It’s quite a simple song from the point of view of a lover who has been spurned or deceived and vows it won’t happen again.

I’m happy with the lyrics in this and recently decided that it should actually have a fiddle and maybe banjo break, so it sits somewhere between country and folk. I don’t have any demos of it so have just done a rough recording with the organ here but you’ll get the idea.
