wrote this a couple of months ago...about Amy Winehouse...can`t recall if i was satisfied with it or not?

you lived between the dark and  light
a  jewel, stolen in the night

half a life..was it enough
did you even find the love

a love that would have cooled the sun
but tears that made mascara run...

wash away the deep regrets
of lovers that we never met.
...
amy ,is it really true
that happiness eluded you
dreams where never followed through.
amy, left us feeling blue.
...
misty eyes shine in the black
we just want our baby back..

songs that used to burn the soul
still fill the darkest holes
a girl that  we once we adored
left us  through a closing door..

we just wanted a little more
from a life ,you could n`t cure

amy ,is it really true
that happiness eluded you
dreams where never followed through.
amy, left us feeling blue.

Mate this is really nice, I might like to have a go at a melody for this when I get time, if thats ok with you. Great writing again STC, I think it helps to know who its about before reading it as you can instantly connect with the lyrics. Even without your introduction though, its clear who its about, cos the title tells us. :)

Excellent!

The lady messed up her life which was sad with all that talent and a promise of greater things if she could have sorted herself out.
I like your story, some good lines there not so sure about the through/blue rhyme, that aside you have the basis of a really good song.Well thought through!

Really nice lyrics, STC. Def tells the story clearly.
I was never the biggest fan of Winehouse, but she was amazingly talented and it is a shame that talent was wasted on drugs, alcohol and other bullshit. A lot of other past artists come to mind while reading it as well.
Interested to hear what it'll turn into when it's put to music!

Cool thanks :) And why doesn't every program have an undo button? how hard could that be to do?

I write using the notes app on my phone, then send it to myself by email as a backup. This also means its in a text form that I can copy/paste etc.

Whatever happened to pen and paper? ;)
