Hi,
with permission I took some lyrics from Adamfarr and put this poem/song together.
I suppose it's a kind of collaboration. (he didn't see that one coming. lol)
I'd like to say what the song is about but I shouldn't because it speaks for itself.
I've got the music for it down and just need to learn where to breathe, what to emphasise, etc.
This learning how to perform a song takes a bit of time,
I find it doesn't matter how hard I work on it in one session it still needs it's chronological time to settle.
Any criticism is very welcome. If anyone would like to build on it further, that'd be great - I'll use what suits me.
Thanks for your understanding Adam. I'm very keen to hear what you think, and to finish a recording of the song, in particular for your listening.
Enjoy what I have so far. God bless yerzz!
Alone on the Bridge
Potential was squandered
neglect has turned it brown
no amount of water
did ever touch the ground
Step away from that door
and leave those orphaned keys
for all of your sweet splendour
you never found relief
Alone on the bridge, you were floating on it
longer than you would have liked to admit
Kill or be killed
if that's what gets you, up on your heels
and running until...
Away from all the noise
deep in your empty room
your resurected voice
serenades a distant moon
Dressed for a funeral
you never leave the house
with ev'ry passing day
another light goes out
Alone on the bridge, attractions effacing
darker than the quicksand you are chasing
do what thou willt
shall that be the whole of the law for
loving oneself
Back at the bridge, you are floating on it
for longer than you would care to admit
la noche oscura del alma
Alone on the Bridge
