March 2014

We are still working on the final version(s) of this new song but I want to share the lyrics with you so you can get an idea how it will turn out.

Background: I have insomnia and sometimes take a sleeping pill to help me sleep at night.  About a week ago, I took a sleeping pill at midnight but was still wide awake at 2am so I decided to sit down and write lyrics to a song.

Two hours later this is what I had:

RECONCILED

[themify_box color=”light-blue”]I keep thinking of you
Trying hard to reconcile my place
You once loved me too
All I do now is think of your face

You held back your heart
Watching stars as they fell from the sky
You knew from the start
Thinking back on it I wonder why

I should think of you
Trying hard to reconcile your place
When you loved me too
We would live within our warm embrace

How could I not see?
Thinking back I should have seen the sign
You made love to me
Biding time you hoped I’d walk the line

I could think of you
Trying hard to reconcile your place
You once loved me too
Now you’ve disappeared without a trace

Driving late at night
Thought I saw a candle through the blind
Did you see me fight?
Though it’s hard, you know what you can’t find

I can’t think of you
Trying hard to reconcile my place
Did you love me too?
You could never look upon my face

We had such a start
Riding horses through a field of grass
Crying for your heart
I could see your candle through the glass

I won’t think of you
I’ve tried hard to reconcile my place
You once loved me too
How I miss your face[/themify_box]

The above audio file is a version I made with only acoustic guitar.
