Glancing Around

Here’s some lyrics to a song I’m working on.  It’s mostly for practice, I want to get back into writing songs rather than just fiddling around on guitar.  If I ever get a version of the music with my voice such that my voice doesn’t piss me off I’ll probably post it online.  I’ve been using audacity to record myself with, great free software.  Unfortunately I can’t sing and audacity doesn’t help with that.

Glancing Around

——————-

I can’t seem to

get rid of my picture of you

I just walk along

waiting for a break in the song

People change faces every day

but i still can’t find a way

to see your face again

in the crowds, in the clouds

every morning through every night

I can’t get this feeling quite right

all I can manage to do

is chase it down in dream sight

just another sad tale

wondered about under icy hail

seeking shelter from the falling ice

from inside the crystal ship looked nice

it’s all figments of imagination

i’ll stand up and change the station

rations for an uncreative mind

just another stop now go sign

lead me on out of here

i’ve had more to drink than I can bare

why she keeps looking at me

what is it that she can see

laid out in a long look

soul stretches like a well worn book

maybe there’s a shade of you here

but i just don’t want to stare

back at home, back to rest

I have too many prayers to confess

prayers of yesterday, days to come

if I sleep too long I’ll surely come undone
