I saw a great singer/songwriter perform last night, (Hunter Payne, I think add a dot.com and you'll have his website) and I remembered song lyrics I wrote I'd love to have put to music. I thought I'd just post mine and see if I have any talents composers out there who'd like to give it a shot. (These little baubles of mine are posted on the main part of my site, please feel free to peruse if you haven't already...)
This Man True
Sometimes you’re the tracks
Sometimes you’re the train
Sometimes you’re the land
Sometimes you’re the grain
Sometimes you’re the roof
Sometimes you’re the rain
Sometime you’re the balm
Sometimes you’re the pain
All men are made
From the very same stuff
Whether ashes or ashes
Or dust to dust
And it pleases me none
To tell you this truth
But there’s never been a one
Who’s never once been a fool
Sometimes you’re the game
Sometimes you’re the player
Sometimes you’re the news
Sometimes you’re the prayer
Sometimes you’re the sand
Sometimes you’re the wave
Sometime you’re the drowned
Sometimes you’re the saved
All men are made
From the very same stuff
Whether ashes or ashes
Or dust to dust
And it pleases me none
To tell you this truth
But there’s never been a one
Who’s never once been cruel
Sometimes you’re the heart
Sometimes you’re the break
Sometimes you’re the lamb
Sometimes you’re the snake
Sometimes you’re the hope
Sometime you’re the fear
Sometimes you’re the loved
Sometimes you’re the tears
All men are made
From the very same stuff
Whether ashes or ashes
Or dust to dust
And it pleases me none
To tell you this truth
But there’s never been a one
I loved as much as you.
