Hey guys, this is a quick song I did recently. Still a work on progress.  I was having trouble a few days ago thinking of something to write about so i started writing about how hard it is to write.  And then the song just flowed from there.  I would welcome any constructive criticism since this is very much a work in progress.  I will do a recording of it at some point as well.

Writers Block (Delilah)

C Dm F
Well I have written & I’ve dug
In all them spoke/talked of places
Where people fall in love
C                     F                              C Dm F
And forget their airs... (dramatic pause) & graces

Am c f
But Delilah lays her gaze
C Dm F
As I piss the days away
Am Dm F
Living in yesterday (possibly reword this)
C DM F
As I sigh some words and say...

CF Am
Her eyes are yellowed pages
Wilted petals in the storm
Our bed is made of rushes
It aint dirty but its worn

DM F
And still I’ve found no verses
No words of melody
No riddles/voices on wind
And no bottles from the sea

C Dm f
And I’m looking for the muses
I’m looking for my mother’s song
I’m looking for us as children
Before it all went wrong

C F Am
But there stands Delilah
The image of a saint
On her hands are many colours
And it makes it hard to paint

DM F
And still I’ve found no verses
No words of melody
No riddles on wind
And no bottles from the sea ... eaa.

BUILD UP OF F

C F Am (raise volume - gets more dramatic)
You know I have my muses
In whisky and in nicotine
Should be easy thinking of uses
For the remnants of yesterdays dream – dreaaaam HEY

C F AM
But there stands Delilah
Her hair in lock and curls
I have loved her like a woman
But she can act like a little girl

DM F
And still I’ve found no verses
No words of melody
No riddles on wind
And no bottles from the sea
BUILD UP F

C Dm f
And I’m looking for the muses
I’m looking for my mother’s song
I’m looking for us as children
Before it all went wrong
Before it all went wrong

BUILD UP F AND END ON C
