Periscope 1/8 -
I wrote a song on my new piano, but it's so hard to video it.
It's also, it turns out, hard to throw together a guitar version when I've only ever known it on piano.
Anyway, I'm throwing the lyrics up here for now...let me know your thoughts!
I took in years of mourning...still I never saw a light.
And you're saying sorry as you exit slowly;
Covering your eyes.
His apologies, like these sorry beers we drink to forget the evening.
Remember the days you'd close your eyes for a minute,
Just to hide from the moment?
Silence speaks to me, in these lonely nights we keep.
I'm listening.
You're shifting blame but I know the story;
I'll let you have your way.
And you're just a ghost now, but you used to know me,
And shelter all we had.
Your excuses to Stay, to Try, to Leave;
They were never lost on me...in naive misery.
Remember the days you'd close your eyes for a minute,
Just to hide from the moment?
Silence echoing, oh I used to know that face, now a memory...
I'm listening.
