Hi all,

The lyrics to my first complete song written in 1984
first out of my old shed box

What Happened to the  Song

What happened to the song - that I was singing long ago?
Somehow the music died - while walking down life’s road.
What happened to the ladies who loved me?
Did they see the truth behind the lies
Like a ghost there memories haunt me
Echoes in the canyons of time

Yes I wonder where I went wrong
What happened to the music the song
I wonder where I went wrong
What happened to the song

What happened to the friends who stood by me
When my money and living was high
Only shadows will now stand by me
Even they are cast aside
Repeat 2nd verse

Which is the 2nd verse? Is there a chorus? Is one of those a bridge? I really am not sure whether this is a song or a free-verse poem, the structure is just a tad unclear. I'm sure it works well to whatever music you have in mind for it but that doesn't come across in type so it's a good idea to label the songs a bit.

I think it's alright. Nothing all that original I think but I wouldn't go so far as to say it's bad. The line 'Echoes in the canyons of time' is definitely standout, but its also standalone and I think you would do well to have more imagery surrounding it to create a really majestic idea of a longing for the past.

Thanks for your response

Corsair, sorry for the confusion, it's Verse, Chorus, Verse.

Titiami, I did post above the lyrics that it was written in 1984! ;D
