Surrender To Your Arms

Surrender to Your Arms singer Maia Kuze with Rick Maltese on piano
cover art by Karl Schantz
My lonely spirit
Needs you to guide me
To stand beside me
But I still fear you.
Will I surrender to your arms?
My heart has weakened
My heart has wandered
My constant longing
Please come and save me.
I will surrender to your arms.
When I let down my guard will you be there?
These are the thoughts I’m saying in a prayer.
Will my faith completely save my soul?
Is there room for you inside my world?
You are eternal.
I’m only mortal.
Will I learn all your ways?
The gifts you’ve shown me
There’s so much beauty
It might just heal me
To surrender to your arms.

Dear God
Dear God is something I put together about 2000.
It would be great if it were done for electric guitar and orchestra.
Lessons Learned
Lessons Learned words and music by Rick Maltese © 2011 There's so much more to life than living lives apart. We all are blessed with what it takes. How do we start? To find the path to make it work, open your heart. Open your heart and once again, Open your heart these are the Lessons Learned. When justice will not show it's face, open the door. The waves don't stop when they have found their way to shore. Just pray once more and once again, just pray once more. Just pray once more, and pray again. Just pray once more. These are the lessons learned What seems like just an ember fading in the dark. In time the light will shine so bright, a fixed mark. If over time the light should fade, just save a spark Just save a spark, and once again, Just save a spark these are the lessons learned.
We’re playing at the Winchester

Andy’s Favourites on the Alleycatz Menu:
Sorry, I’m a sucker for seafood! I say the alligator also counts because, well, they do have SALT WATER alligators in Australia (or is that crocodiles?!)
SHRIMP GAMBAS $11
Pan fried tiger shrimp brushed with Spanish garlic butter
BRUSCHETTA $9
Toasted bread, roma tomatoes, olive oil, garlic and fresh basil, balsamic drizzle and shaved parmesan (add goat cheese $2)
ALLIGATOR $15*
Grilled alligator tenderloin skewers with bell peppers and red onion served in a Creole tomato sauce
LOBSTER CAKE $12
Sweet potato, Ontario corn, lobster, breaded, served with jalapeno lime mayo
CALAMARI A LA PLANCHE $11
Marinated grilled calamari brushed with a bagna calda olive oil, cured tomatoes, kalamata olives
* not endangered species but definitely an endangered dish at Alleycatz. It goes like hot (lobster) cakes!

is having me, Andy De Campos, and my trio of piano, bass and drums perform outside on their newly licensed patio.
As we have found out that the patio is indeed licensed to sell alcohol (!!!) we had to change the name of the trio. So it is no longer called the “SpeekEZ!” (Frankly, I don’t know what to call it – but you can surely drop off your suggestion.)

REFRAINS
* C Am F G
1. Heart and soul, I fell in love with you,
2. Heart and soul, I begged to be adored,
3. But now I see, what one embrace can do,
* C Am F G
1. Heart and soul, the way a fool would do,
2. Lost con-trol, and tumbled overboard,
3. Look at me, it's got me loving you,
* C Am F G C Am
1. Madly... Because you held me tight,
2. Gladly... That magic night we kissed,
3. Madly... That little kiss you stole,
* C Am Dm7 G7
1. And stole a kiss in the night...
C C7
2. There in the moon mist. TO BRIDGE
3. Held all my heart and soul. END
