[Vintage54]

                          Never be wanting

                    If gold is the measure
                    I guess that i'm poor
                    The coins in my pockets are few
                    If love is the treasure
                    I can't ask for more
                    I'll never be wanting with you

                    When i need sunshine
                    To brighten my day
                    You never fail to come through
                    The E minor moments
                    You blow them away
                    I'll never be wanting with you

                    Wanting with you
                    Wanting with you
                    I'll never be wanting with you

                    Flowers go crazy
                    For want of the rain
                    When it's kisses are long overdue
                    Then wither and die
                    On the hot dusty plain
                    But i'll never be wanting with you

                    I don't need to pack cases
                    You take me to places
                    Every time you unbuckle your shoe
                    And the rhythm is sweet
                    In that tropical heat
                    I'll never be wanting with you

                    Wanting with you
                    Wanting with you
                    I'll never be wanting with you

                    You're not ordinary
                    You're not commonplace
                    Baby you're one of the few
                    Though you don't have a penny
                    Your jewels are so many
                    I'll never be wanting with you

                    And as long as the rivers
                    Continue to run
                    As long as there's salt in the sea
                    As long as the moon
                    Steals the light of the sun
                    You'll never be wanting with me

                    Wanting with me
                    Wanting with you
                    We'll never be wanting we two
                    Wanting with me
                    Wanting with you
                    We'll never be wanting we two.

Lovely lyrics.  Everything flowed.  I wish I could imagine music to go with it.

What a great flow from start to finish,i love this one Vintage
even more than your previous one and there was nothing
wrong with that one.
It reads like a piece of poetry but it also sings very easily in
the mind.
Are we ever gonna hear any of your songs put to music?,if you
don't record them yourself have you thought about trying the
collaborations section of the forum!
I'd love to hear this one,
                                  superb,
                                             Tom.

vintage,
Neat lyrics as ever with the more personal touch. Reads really well and lively imagery in there.
My favourite is verse 3 but all good.

Yo Vintage,

Pretty cool stuff!! 
Especially liked the line
 As long as the moon
 Steals the light of the sun

Well Done!!

[CaliaMoko]

Igg stole my comment! That is my favorite part, too. But I do like the whole thing. The rhythms and the rhymes work very well, in my opinion. And I like the sentiment. Please do set this to music!

The only possible nit I can think of is that (unless this is incredibly fast paced) it might get a little long. 

Aside from that, I'm impressed with the flow and meaning.

Best lines out of a load of the best lines, for me...

"I don't need to pack cases, you take me to places, every time you unbuckle your shoe"

Just perfect

[Paulski]

Hey Vintage old sod
Another fine tapestry from the master word-weaver.
Love the "unbuckle your shoe" verse. It's like Hitchcock used to do - focus the camera on something else and let our imaginations fill in the details
Has an old-timey feel to it - maybe the phrase "to be wanting" does it IDK.
I'm hearing a lovely old-fashioned waltz..
Good stuff!

I'm hearing a lovely old-fashioned waltz..

Spot on Paul.

[SonderRevelations]

What I found absolutely beautiful about this was that each of the verses were equal in doing their part to hold together the simplicity of this song, the entire feeling of the lyrics are evenly distributed. Very solid format from your verses to your choruses,

" The E minor moments
               You blow them away
                    I'll never be wanting with you  "
I'm not sure what it is about this verse but it really resonates with me, the word usage is phenomenal.
I definitely picture a piano accompaniment with maybe slight hints of finger picked guitar arpeggios freely flowing throughout the piece. ( But that's just me! )
 Wonderful work !

What's not to like about this one.

The imagery is so vivid and paints such a good picture, I could print it off and hang it on my wall as a work of art.

Occasionally songwriters can get a little too clever with their words (I should know, I'm one of them) but you always seem to manage to stay the right side of pretentious.

I'm not going to pick a stand out line because they're all equally as good and I certainly don't intend to offer any advice on how it could be improved, because I'm unable to do so.

It flows beautifully, consistent throughout and can't wait to hear it...

Great work my friend
