Sad song on the horizon…no chorus or verse segregation as yet.  Might keep it this way

18/03/18 – I love this song.  I have the melody in my head.  Very sad song  😦

 

Take my hand before I lose my mind

Or will you let our love fall away like Quicksand

Through life’s dark n rusted keyhole

That waits forever whitewashed

On a wooden door that creaks a silent sigh

That breaks me down with every sunset

Against a life that needn’t be forlorn anymore…

Oh let me give you my candy

I’ll let you taste my early morning sunrise

While lovebirds sing our melody

Oh lay us down on our horizon

And let Quicksand push against us white gold

And sweep our souls away…

Just one more day for us

(So won’t you let me say goodbye?)

Oh let me take a photograph, a memory

And keep it there forever more

So I can finally let you go…

(Oh darling I’ve let you go now)

Cause I couldn’t make you love me 

And I couldn’t make you stay

So I had to say goodbye 

And let you fly away

Now I’m numb n broken

And my heart just feels like stone

Yeah now I’m lost n lonesome

And so my soul goes on alone

Door closed, heart locked

Love will never take me now

So cold, so dark, so empty

Oh love it never came

It was all just in my head

A fantasy cause true love don’t exist

So I’ve laid love down to rest

(But love it never left me)

So our key is on the ocean floor

Where the sun will never shine

The same place where you left me 

Where no one else can find me

Cause love it hurts too much

And I don’t want it anymore

Cause that thing called love is just a lie

(Yeah love is just a silent cry)

You came and went

Yeah love it never came

Our love it fell away like Quicksand 

(And now my heart is stone)

Yeah my heart just feels like stone

Those blue rose bees again….wrote this in the car, melody n all  🙂

Verse 1

Is it a sin to feel the way that I do (ohhh)

Is it such a sin that without him I feel blue?

Is it a sin to want him the way that I do (ohhh)

Is it a sin to think of him the way that I do (ohhh)

Is it such a sin to dream he feels me too?

Cause I can feel his yang but I wanna touch his thang

Is it such a sin to want him in my yin?

Cause one n one make two but no one else will do

Oh is it such a sin to love him the way that I do?

I wanna be the one to turn him on

Yeah I wanna be the one who gets it goin on

Oh is it such a sin to love him the way that I do?

Verse 2

Is it a sin to feel that we belong (ohhh)

Is it such a sin that without him I feel wrong?

Is it a sin to want us to be one (ohhh)

Is it such a sin that I told him in a song?

Is it a sin to believe that we are one (ohhh)

Is it such a sin I keep tryna sound his gong?

Is it a sin to think that we belong (ohhh)

Oh is it such a sin to love him the way that I do?

Chorus 2

I wanna be the one to turn him on 

Yeah I wanna be the one who gets it goin on

Outro

Cause I don’t even know him (but I do)

Now that I’ve found him again (I swear)

To love him the way I do
