New song fluttering it’s way out! Need to work on the structure…

Struggling with the lyrics! Hoping they come to me soon…grrr

 

8/12/17  Yay   🙂  A year has passed and it’s only now I have the chorus idea for this song, which suddenly came to me this morning! (finally)

Capo 1

Chords used (plus variations):

Verses

A    E    A    D    E   A

Chorus

F9 (?)   Em   F    Am

Dm   Am  G  Am

 

Verse 1

Deal em up those cards & give em to me hard

But I ain’t givin in & I ain’t gonna fold

So you can run & hide yer poker face 

I got my mirror on yer Ace

Yeah, I know the hand I want & I ain’t gonna fold

Deal em up those cards & give em even harder

But I ain’t givin up & I ain’t gonna fold

So you can split the pairs you won the race

I’ve given up the chase

I’m kickin back & waitin for the heart of gold

Yeah, I know the hand I want & I ain’t gonna fold

Chorus (x2)

I’m gonna be the one to win your heart

Just you wait and see

I’m gonna prove to you that my love is true

Yeah, I’m gonna make you see

That you’re the only one for me

That you’re the only one for me

Verse 2

Deal em up those cards but you’ll never take me down

No I ain’t gonna buckle & I ain’t gonna fold

So you can gimme another taste of them shotgun blues

But I didn’t come here to lose

Yeah, I know the hand you got & so I ain’t gonna fold

Deal em up those cards but you’ll never take me down

No I ain’t gonna crumble & I ain’t gonna fold

So you can pull the trigger on another round

I’m gonna win the crown

I only wanna hold the hand the one that can’t be sold

Yeah, I know the hand I want & I ain’t gonna fold

Chorus

Bridge

Take me back to the start

And i’ll do it all again

Blindfolded in the cold

Black sun musin to our

Centrefold horizon

If that’s what it’s gonna take to get to you

If that’s what it’s gonna take to get through

Chorus

Outro ?

So toss the rest n let me give you the best

I’ll give you the hand that can’t be sold

Oh yeah, I know the hand I want & I Ain’t Gonna Fold

 

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 such a sin that I keep tryin to break through?

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?

Bridge

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?

Chorus 1

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 

I wanna be the one to spark his lovin seeds

Yeah I wanna be the one to trust his heed

Pre-Chorus

Chorus

Outro

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

Black n white, Yin n Yang

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

I’m never ever gonna give in…

Cause I don’t believe it’s a sin

To love him the way I do
