Something I wrote a few months ago........Any reactions bad or good???   Thanks!!



Sing  Us Both To Heaven

Well, you're a thief and I'm a beggar
Circling round this love together                                            
Each one taking more than we could give
Those willing hearts that we once plundered
Are broken  now...they pull us under                                
And we have both forgotten how to live                          

Chorus:
And if I could
I would wrap us up in my guitar
And sing us both to heaven
I'd sing us both
All the way to heaven

I'm showing kings but you've got aces
Time to pack our sad suitcases                  
Every day's a hand that we should fold    
We bet on love in all its glory                  
Believing all our made up stories
But all we did was just keep growing old

Chorus:
And if I could
I would wrap us up in my guitar
And sing us both to heaven
I'd sing us both
All the way to heaven

Bridge
This avalanche of might have beens
Has buried us alive
How many times has love come round
And not been recognized
Though we thought we'd surely win...
We didn't do so well    
Thinking that we'd both found heaven....
We stumbled into hell  

Chorus:
And if I could
I would wrap us up in my guitar
And sing us both to heaven
I'd sing us both
All the way to heaven

Hey igg...great to hear from you again 

This is super...you always produce great stuff.

Lots of great lines...and it reads like music already...I love it!

[Arkwright]

Outstanding piece of writing, I wouldn't change a thing...

The bridge is a killer.

[Paulski]

Well done igg - up to your usual standards. 
You could almost name it Sing Us To Heaven as the "Both" seems a bit redundant to me.

Good to hear from you again.   This was top notch. . . and it sang easily and well on first read.

Steve - You are far, far too kind....  I'm glad that the lyrics connected with your experience....Thanks..

Paul - Thanks for the comment....I think that I agree with the direction of your insight....perhaps I'll change the chorus to

And if I could
I would wrap us up in my guitar
And sing us both to heaven
I'd would sing us...
All the way to heaven

Whadda ya think?

Verlon -Thanks for the compliment....and great to connect with you as well....I really try to get the internal rhythms aligned as well as I can....

   Howdy igg,
      The verses and the bridge are just terrific, top quality writing. Oddly enough, i don't think the chorus is of the same standard. though "Sing us both to Heaven" is a great title. Having said that, still damn good.
