A song…..

living in Nashville TN, it’s hard to avoid the whole songwriter thing, especially when your friends know you write poetry and ask you to perhaps try your hand at lyrics. it’s seductive, this lyrics thing because most of the lyrics out there are bad and you know because you have a half-decent grasp of the language, you could do far better.

the result?

this is the first cut of a song, I was ever made for you, music by Charlene Ava (NY) and lyrics by senua. i emailed the mp3 to the group because wordpress doesn’t allow mp3 downloads unless you pay extra for the privilege. if you are interested in the song, please contact me at jeanne@moses.com.

Lyrics:

(Refrain)
there’s nothing that’s not been taken
there’s nothing special that’s not been here before
there’s nothing that’s not been wakened
there’s a fire in the sky a moon in the water
and i was ever made for you

shards of our lives fall like so much rain
can you keep me sane
can you hold me together for a little while
can you hold me inside

(refrain)

litter of our life scattered around
in dimming twilight that i’ve found
some say goodbye those PR mystics
i choose to hold on just a little while

(refrain)

when all is said and done
when you think you’ve said goodbye and you are but one
watch the dust devils whisk the shards away
hold on just a little while

(refrain)

and we stand just we two
and it may go on forever and there may be nothing new
and the emptiness winds around us like a blanket
but i was ever made for you

(refrain)
