“Ah, the locals love Sam. He’s like the romantic pied piper of drunk countrymen,” Lois replies.
The lights dim slightly as they did for the performer before. Sam strums his guitar and speaks into his mic.
“I’m going to start with a new one I wrote recently. This song is called ‘Reborn’ and goes out to anyone starting their new beginning.” He looks at me and starts singing.
Underneath the starlit sky,
We are chasing dreams as time goes by,
With every heartbeat, a brand-new start,
Whispers of hope in our beating hearts.
The tempo starts slow but speeds up at the chorus, sending the pub into a whizz of people dancing around and drinking.
Let us dance in the light of a new dawn,
With every step, we’re where we belong.
Together we’ll rise, like the sun in the morn,
In this love, we are reborn.
Sam keeps his eye contact with me. His gorgeous emerald eyes captivate me, his voice a mixture of softness like silk andruggedness like the man he is. His fingers continue to strum the guitar in perfect time to the song he is singing. This man is talented. So talented. And I am not even saying that because I am falling for him. Oh shit. I really am falling for him.
Underneath the endless stars,
We find a way, no matter how far,
The world fades away, but here we stand,
Bound by love, hand in hand.
Let us dance in the light of a new dawn,
With every step, we’re where we belong.
Together we’ll rise, like the sun in the morn,
In this love, we are reborn.
Through the storms, we will find our way,
Side by side, no matter what happens,
With every challenge, we will take it on,
In this journey, we will carry on.
Let us dance in the light of a new dawn,
With every step, we’re where we belong.
Together we’ll rise, like the sun in the morn,
In this love, we are reborn.
Sam plays a few more original songs and a few covers. His Kings of Leon “Sex on Fire” gets everyone rowdy. The whole time he is up there I can’t take my eyes off him. He is amazing. Once he finishes and after the huge round of applause from the semi-drunk locals he joins us back at the table.
