A song I'm working on...

I have the words but no tune yet. But I know one thing for sure, it's one of those songs where I begin with the chorus. A bit like When All Else Fails off Raised In Vain.

AND SO THE HEART

And so the heart confesses

that it never really knew

exactly what it wanted

or needed from you

And so the heart remembers

only what it chooses to

 

Days of dark-eyed wonder

Nights of youthful lust

The highlight of the journey

from dust to dust

 

And so the heart confesses

that it never really knew

exactly what it wanted

or needed from you

And so the heart remembers

only what it chooses to

 

And so the heart

And so the heart

And so the heart confesses here to you

And so the heart

And so the heart

And so the heart caresses what is true

 

Life once full of living

Death once held at bay

The two become much closer

day by day

 

And so the heart confesses

that it never really knew

exactly what it wanted

or needed from you

And so the heart remembers

only what it chooses to

 

We spent our time forgetting

to remember all of it

As we filed the best away

bit by bit

 

And so the heart confesses

that it never really knew

exactly what it wanted

or needed from you

And so the heart remembers

only what it chooses to

Love the thought behind this. I'm working on something now that is a teensy bit similar and reading your words has helped me clarify whaqt I want mine to be. Thank you!
