things shine

i hold up my face
so the sun may melt
this frozen mask
those colder days
have forced upon me

and with my freed mouth
i will ask you out
the trees will wave, the green allay
that melancholy which is worn out
we'll discard those ancient doubts

oh, we'll go dangling our feet
in the sparkling creek

oh, we'll take off our coats
we'll need them no more

we'll watch liquid light spill
all over our skin

it will be easy
it will be easy
to forget about things

and with our freed eyes
we'll stare at the sky
counting the clouds, picturing crows
as we used to do back in school
when we didn't yet like rules

and we'll wonder if the years
might have weakened our hearts
and strengthened our fears

we won't know what it'd been all about
or why we'd let time get away with it
but it'll seem wrong then
it'll seem wrong then
so we'll name all our worries
throw them in the stream
and wait till they float upside down

with lighter heads we'll hang around
until the sun comes down
to send us home
to count us out


... hope someone likes it
cheers,
bluenightangel

..and it really feels like summer this week... thanks, bob. :wink:
..a very rough demo, without real chords, just a bit of strumming and singing, an idea of the song, exists now- mail me if you want to have a listen (but i don't promise quality or beauty or anything the like)]]> Sunday Songwriters Group straycat. https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/y4week31-things-shine/#post-18320
