Wrap Me Up In Shadows © 2003 Tim Wilson & Gerry Davenport
Tim Wilson, a fabulous, creative, and imaginative person, has come to me since 1982 to put music to his lyrics. Well when he came to me in 2003 to show me his new creation, it was a different but refreshing way we wrote it. Tim had the lyrics and the melody already which he sang to me; I just figured out chords and rythym would fit together.- gerry July 30, 2005

Gerry Davenport: Musical Arrangement
With Male vocal, but need a Female singing.
Wrap Me Up In Shadows.
Bathe me in the past.
Dance me to a better place where time don‘t move so fast.
Tough guy talk. Pawnshop hock.
Gangster faces. 40‘s places
Overcoats. Dead men floats.
Darkened corners. Umbrella‘d mourner‘s.
Send me a dozen grey roses. Buy me some cheap perfume.
Shake me a dry martini and smoke to fill the room.
Smoke filled rooms, cheap perfume.
Liquor runs, pocket guns.
Sexy dames, long lost flame.
Rumbling cars, hopeful stars.
Tough guys will always love me. Make me a movie star.
I‘ll turn heads everywhere in places filled with… noir…
Neon lights in blank and white.
Dance floor swirl. Cigarette girl.
Wrap me up in shadows. Let me sing my song.
Take me back to the forties. Back where I belong.
Take me back to the forties. Back where I belong.
Just Music.
