A sort of a Norah Jones type song.....might need looking at some more..but i can`t be bothered at the moment...best to write and go back later,start something new...
..............................................

in an  ocean,

saltwater finds its own way home

without a notion,

i can`t find the words

to say what i really feel...

and when we stopped,

to taker a deeper breath

i couldn`t take the chance

that you wouldn`t show me

the world within a glance..

..........


the glow of red,

on the horizon

time to go to bed,

sleep and dream....

to the, sweet serene

echoes of your voice.
......

stop me before i start,

and i`ll meet you

were the rivers part

and i hope to see,

my   reflection

in your copper coated heart...

...

 ooh,nothing phases you

the colours seem so true

when will i touch your

copper coated heart.

....(.middle )
electricity, flows through me

everytime your next to me

and,the question begs ......

more sincerity ,i need you

lying next to me.

.............

in an  ocean

saltwater finds its own way home

without a notion

i can`t find the words

to say what i really feel

and when we stopped

i couldn`t take the chance

the world within a glance..

Excellent stuff STC. I'm really liking the stuff you've been posting lately. It's soft but heavy without being too dark, really great balance and I think it works for you :)

Hey STC

I like this. The imagery and language are very "Norah Jones", and I can hear a dusky vocal crooning this one out

Just a few things though...what's the meaning behind the "Copper Coated Heart"? I thought maybe it was something to do with electical conduction (copper wires, etc) and you make a reference to electricity flowing "through me". Is that right? If so it could maybe be expanded upon 'cos it seems a bit bolted on to the ocean/sea lyrics

Also the double spacing between each line made my eyes bleed  ;)

"the glow of red,

on the horizon

time to go to bed,

sleep and dream...."

This was my favourite part. You paint the scene whilst tying it to the ocean theme you've got going on. Clever!

Everything is easier said than done.

Except talking.

That's about the same.

Well Peter..the lyric "copper coated heart" sort of flashed in my head, so i thought about the properties of copper, as a conductor of heat, electricity etc....i plan to re-write it...and  spend a bit more time..making it sound more sense......

I do have the habit of "filling" songs with , on the face of it...profound ,poetic sounding verse,that may not stand up to scrutiny...??
