I've posted some lyrics before, but I don't think any of my fam has ever heard anything I've written. So, using a terribly outdated camera, I recorded, as best I could, the most recent couple of songs I've worked on. The guitar is not magnificent, but alas, one day it will be.
This first song I wrote about a 1.5 months ago, the most recent song I've completed. It titled: Another Week, and here 'tis:
Let's talk it out, 'cause I've been gettin' sick of the silence.
Another week, and I'll be gettin' sick of this same, dry tune.
Now I know your thoughts and your words don't oft mingle,
But I've been left to my own since the middle of June.
Let's walk it out, 'cause I've been gettin' tired of waitin'
You left me with false hopes to which I could cling.
I've been feelin' alone for quite sometime now,
And missin' you seems to be the one song I have left to sing.
And when I hear your name, I don't think twice.
And when I see your face, my heart never breaks in two.
And I always listen to my friends and my family's advice.
And I don't cry when I think of the last time I held you.
Now I know we don't know each other so well,
But you said we were kindred of a spirited kind.
And I recall the strength in the calm of your embrace,
As I've not yet rid the thought of you from my mind.
And when I hear your name, I don't think twice.
And when I see your face, my heart never splits in two.
And I always listen to my friends and my family's advice.
And I don't cry when I think of the last night I spent with you.
Let's talk it out, 'cause I've been gettin' sick of the silence.
Another week, and I'll be gettin' sick of this same dry tune.

<3, :D!!!
I really enjoyed listening to & watching you sing. You perform so beautifully. Seriously, you are so talented I am just in awe.
The second song I really like because it reminds me of autumn in Utah. There is this little window of time that seems almost magical and always makes me think about life. I am still in 105 degree weather but at times I am thinking about those cooler September days in Utah.
You express yourself through words very well, it is interesting to get a glimpse of what is on your mind. Keep writing! It makes me happy that you would put this up for all of us to see.
Thanks for letting us get up close and personal with your music. You really have a way with the lyrics... love all of it. Did you hear I tried to sneak out of the reunion and one of my cousins called and said she had driven all the way from CO and I better get there. I felt so ashamed of myself... it was good to see them all.
I love it!!! Joni Mitchell like feeling. I've been teaching my kids at school about the importance of "audience" for years, but not until I got started in the blogging world did I truly understand. Thanks for being willing to share. I set a goal of writing more poetry this year. You're inspiring me to follow through.
