Title: And Rise Again
Post by: rightly on December 24, 2023, 09:32:12 AM
Xmas makes busy. Yuk. And I'm hungover.

The music to these lyrics is pretty much sorted.
With add9 and major 7ths chords.
I felt vaguely pleased about something
Checking my phone, i realised it was this.

It could do with a 4th verse. Maybe.
Ideas?

An update


 rise to fall again


    I had to let you go
 the future is yours to unfold
your cheeks silver-plated with hunger unsated
your trigger, I'm letting you know

     the sun touched you 'fore birth
 your wealth is both blessing and curse
don't eat the yellow snow, it's bitter and cold
and far from what you deserve
giving as you get
as light as a silhouette

    you do not have to act
 playing it tough and all o' that
inherit the earth for all it is worth                       
while keeping the wind at your back
you need not pretend
you will rise to fall again
        (and again and again)
