New song forming — again! This one hasn’t taken long – melody and lyrics started to come to me late last night…and now I’m starting to wonder whether the Lovestruck album will ever really be finished.
Work in progress !
27/12/17 – Pretty much got these lyrics how I want them…not sure whether to include ‘morning’ into the punch line yet. Time will tell 🙂
29/12/17 – Wow i’m really struggling with the lyrics now. I get a bit carried away sometimes and often make a mess of what was possibly ‘ok’
31/12/17 – lyrics need simplifying/minimising in middle section. Working on this song later

Verse 1
If you’ve moved on
Will you tell me before tomorrow comes
And if your heart’s really gone
Will you tell me In Time For The Sun
It’s not because I’m lonely
Or that you owe me anything at all
It’s not because I tried too hard
Or the tears I’ve cried
I just need to know
Before the rain clouds form into a thunder storm
If you’ve moved on
Will you tell me before tomorrow comes
And if your heart’s really gone
Will you tell me In Time For The Sun
‘Rap’
It’s time you zapped the cable to this operatic fable
To this fairy-tale love that’s playin out in my mind
Under your thumb to the gun to the curse of the sun
It’s time to toss em on the table, them cards onto the table
Stop playin the jester while I keep up the pester
Lover don’t run just succumb to the verse of the drum
You’ve been danglin the carrot now i’m soundin like a parrot
Don’t you think it’s time to close the gap n wrap this up?
Cause I need your presence, your effervescence
Lights turned on, don’t turn em out, just hear me out
Drop the needle onto eternity or turn the key n set me free
Verse 2
If you’ve moved on
Will you tell me before tomorrow comes
And if your heart’s really gone
Will you tell me In Time For The Sun
Cause all the time I’ve been holdin out for you
Someone else they got their eyes on me
Layin all their tricks on me
Tryin to steal me away from you
But I’ll never stray or let anyone get in our way
(So quit makin a fool outta me)
If you’ve moved on
Will you tell me before tomorrow comes
And if your heart’s really gone
Will you tell me In Time For The Sun
Will you tell me In Time For The Sun
Will you tell me In Time For The Sun
