New Song, New Guitar (almost)

So I brought my Martin Acoustic in to get it adjusted.  It has become virtually unplayable.  I also had a pick up installed.  I was really worried when I gave it over to Al at his home studio/shop.  But when I got it back the thing was incredible.  The action was so perfect, and the sound so great.  I never know how good a guitar could be, I had always thought mine was pretty good before it got out of whack.  Boy was I wrong. 

And so of course I've been playing pretty much non stop.  That led me to a new song.  I haven't recorded it yet, I'm thinking maybe Wednesday or Thursday.  So stay tuned.

Wish You Were Here (early morning rain)

Another early morning rain,
I wish you were here.
Wasting all my time again,
I wish you were here.

And I know that I,
yes I know that I,
should find somebody new.
(wish you were here)

Dreams can be so big,
dreams can be so mean,
when you believe a price well paid,
can set you free.
Getting rid of wasted time,
and trying to find,
another door,
another key.

And all you ever wanted,
all you really ever wanted,
was a little something left for you.

Then the early morning rain,
with you peaceful sleeping breath,
could melt away the world.
Now, I 'm soaked right to the bone,
clinging to what is left,
from the road to something more,
and you,
loved me,
and now the sun refuses to shine,
in this early morning rain.

break

And I know that I,
yes, I know that I,
should find somebody new,
(wish you were here)

Another early morning rain,
oh,  I wish you were here,
wasting all my time again,
oh, I wish you were here.

Songwriter's Challenge

So the coffee shop I've been terrorizing with my off key singing and problematic guitar playing has a songwriter's challenge.  Not quite sure how the challenge works, but I know the theme is Dancing, and the deadline is tonight.  So I'm going to write this song and hopefully perform it tonight.


There's thunder in my heart
that won't quiet down,
there's voices in my head
that drag me around

And though it feels allright
when i feed my restlessness
There's still a little girl
that I'll always miss

and I
lay awake at night and can't lose the day
and then i think of her and it slips away
I watch her
dance

It was last september
since last I was home
I hope she remembers
that I love her so

The thunder is a pounding
in my restless soul
but now it's telling me
it's time to go home

and I

lay awake at night and can't lose the day
and then i think of her and it slips away
I watch her
dance

and the lightning screams
through my restless dreams
i packed my things
and baby I'm coming home
to see you dance
