Arrghh – struggling with lyrics (at work)

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

grr

grrr

grr

V1

Will you be there tomorrow

When realization kicks in

(?? ) one and only bright star

Slipped from outta these hands

Will you be there to catch me

When my heart’s in my chin

Zapped by the blender

Battling back to begin

Will you pull me from surrender

Shake my weary soul

Back on track to try again

And never ever let me give in

Chorus

Do ya, do ya, do ya

Oh do ya wanna

Let the Lord in

Let him sit at our table

???

Skull back on bloody Marys

?? Frodo

Rodeo the Night Train to Komodo

 

words i wanna use:

??

Heart rate

Fractionate

Defibrillator

Dress like

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh Baby Come Back

As I drifted off last night.

I’ll no doubt turn this into a song…

5/10/17  I was originally playing this with open chords, Capo 2nd fret.  Similar chords, as usual…and so last night I moved Capo to 9th fret and the pattern is more like what I want for this song.  I love that sweet melody up the neck.  This means I have to sing it a bit ‘lower’ (which is nice with the higher finger picking pattern) but I think I could alter the vocals a little to add some harmonic color.  And so…..

9/10/17

I’m really loving this song.  Makes me realize how far I’ve come on my songwriting journey

I think I need a ‘bridge’ between Verse & Choruses

 

(Latest)  🙂 

Lyrics still need work – this is my first draft

Capo 9
Verses: F     G    Em    Am   Em
Chorus:   G   Am     C    D   G

V1
Waiting for his torch to shine into me black
Oh Baby Come Back
Petals of star lust feather up so high as I lie awake for you
Oh Baby Come Back
Lucid night holds me tight to dreams that strip my glare
I want you everywhere
Full throttle, message in a bottle
Oh Baby Come Back

Chorus
Maybe outside a soft rain gonna fall
But that don’t matter anyway
Cause baby by the time you hear this I’ll be gone
Yeah maybe outside a soft rain gonna fall
But that don’t matter anyway
Cause baby by the time you hear this I’ll be gone

V2
You are always there with me you’re my heavenly nightmare
Oh Baby Come Back
Lost him somewhere to stolen air we’re neither here to nowhere
Oh Baby Come Back
Oh Lord you let love stab its sword still I can’t hit his chord
Oh Baby Come Back
Still I lie, I lie awake for you as my heart breaks
Oh Baby Come Back
Hand shandy coloured candy
Oh Baby Come Back

Chorus
