(Song for a rat)
*
I don't know ...
No, I don't know
Which way I'm facing
I don't know ...
No, I don't know
Which way I'm facing
What this song's embracing
I can't grow ...
No, I can't grow
A single thing here
The blood is thin here
No, I can't grow
A single thing here
The blood is thin here
And as I look across this sad and frozen sea
I realise there's no one else here but me
It's written it in a bottle buried the sand
Will you hold it in your hand
I realise there's no one else here but me
It's written it in a bottle buried the sand
Will you hold it in your hand
I need you ...
Yes, I need you
To throw me something
To show me just one thing
Yes, I need you
To throw me something
To show me just one thing
I found home ...
Yes, I found home
But I lost my way there
Can I have another day there
Yes, I found home
But I lost my way there
Can I have another day there
And as I look across this sad and frozen sea
I realise there's got to be a shift in me
The truth lays buried in that bottle in the sand
Will you hold it in your hand
I realise there's got to be a shift in me
The truth lays buried in that bottle in the sand
Will you hold it in your hand
Can I have another day there
Just another day there
Another day there
*
A broken stone, frozen on time ...
Just another day there
Another day there
*
A broken stone, frozen on time ...
I like this song written by the late Mr Marley, especially this version by Annie - also, I like this quirky movie (I know it's soft) because of what it represents.
Great lyrics - tis a lovely song you've written, even without the music.
ReplyDeleteKindness is one of your many delightful qualities thalassaki... Once recorded you will be the first to hear it. I would still like some of that wonderful classic guitar sound on it if possible? Coz it fits!
ReplyDeleteTis G B- A- E- and C E- you know the dots don't you :)
okay I'll try the chords - to mess up the song without a doubt!
ReplyDeleteThat's nonsense... It's the feel that counts!
