I haven't done a you tube video in forever....
I sat down and wrote this song a few days ago. I'm sure it will probably continue to morph into many different things. It is very rare I can sit down and write an entire song; VERY RARE. I usually have a couple ideas swimming around in my head, but once I get to the point of getting all of them out, it turns into quite a process.
(Also...please forgive the horrible quality. You'll get the gist of it.)
Growing Old
I got
too many lessons learned
too many bridges burned
I can’t just throw it all away
I ran
to many different things
Our hearts break
and now it rings
out in the darkest night and cold.
And pains not growing old.
I spent
many nights on the porch
contemplating the score
between my heart and my loss
I found
the past had taken course.
back to where I was before
And a life the lives bold
I traveled a million miles away
Try to get back to the place where my heart had stayed
but it’s written on the wall
I can’t run from you at all.
I strive
in the battles lost and won
our work is never done
we live the questions now
I know
that the flood will surely come
our lives will be undone
as we wish for days of old.
The pains not growing old.
