I've Been a Failure
Sorry it's been so long since I posted anything. I wrote something a couple of weeks ago and have edited 4 columns so far and my editor hasn't finished her work on them. I thought I would post some lyrics I wrote to a song. I realize this is total bunk but I will have something up in a day or so. Let me know what you think of the lyrics.
The name of the song is, "I'll Be Seein' You." They are currently unedited but bare with me.
I met her in a coffee shop where I invited her out for a drink
She told me to meet her at a topless bar that’s when I really started to think
We spent that night in a smoky room with shadows all around
Everywhere around us was noise but I couldn’t hear me a sound
She took my hand and she held it tight and leaned in close to my ear
She said babe lets take a walk and get ourselves out of here
We walked all night under that moon and shining sound of the stars
All the while she just held my hand and I just looked for her scars
I found myself walking up the street and she told me we were close
I looked at her and I raised my brow and shivered down to my toes
I asked her what do you mean and she told me that I knew
I knew right then that I understood and knew what I would do
If you find yourself standing beside the road thinking what have I done
You look back at the mess you’ve made and whether you gotta run
You sit right down and play with your head and you find out that it’s true
All you can think of and all you can say is what you gonna do
When it’s true… I’ll be leaving you
We wound up there outside of her place and she asked me up inside
I found my self a little nervous and a little scared inside
Her place was small hardly any room but she said she lived alone
I knew I wasn’t the first man in that place but then I was the one
We sat in the middle of the room and she leaned in for a kiss
That look in her eyes and that faraway place man they were hard to miss
She told me to tie her up and then she started to laugh
I asked her if she was joking and I saw her through the bottom of her glass
If you find yourself standing beside the road thinking what have I done
You look back at the mess you’ve made and whether you gotta run
You sit right down and play with your head and you find out that it’s true
All you can think of and all you can say is what you gonna do
When it’s true… I’ll be leaving you
She sat right here with expecting eyes and she lit another smoke
I sat right there with fear in my heart and I wished was a joke
When I finished she was hardly done and surely told me so
I said now babe we can be friends but it’s really time to go
I looked at her as I started to leave and I saw her full of tears
I wanted to hold her close I wanted her to be near
I left that day I got up and went but never stopped thinking of her
She was such a woman I gotta admit and I’ve never found another
If you find yourself standing beside the road thinking what have I done
You look back at the mess you’ve made and whether you gotta run
You sit right down and play with your head and you find out that it’s true
All you can think of and all you can say is what you gonna do
When it’s true… I’ll be leaving you
I find myself alone these days maybe 15 years gone past
Many women have come and went but I’ve found myself at last
I’ve gotta find my way back to her at least that much is clear
All I can think of is her perfect face and how I left her in tears
I headed out of town with long road ahead and stop to get a drink
And who did I find sitting at that bar my mind could hardly think
That woman from my long lost past she sat there all alone
Her face looked weathered and her clothes weren’t new but she was my own
I went up to her and I said hello mind if I buy you a drink
She just smiled and nodded and I found myself at the brink
She asked me if she knew me from somewhere and I nodded my head
I told her how I left her standing teary eyed and we never went to bed
If you find yourself standing beside the road thinking what have I done
You look back at the mess you’ve made and whether you gotta run
You sit right down and play with your head and you find out that it’s true
All you can think of and all you can say is what you gonna do
When it’s true… I’ll be leaving you
The smile was gone from her face and her eyes they shown with fear
She asked my why I was talking to her and why was I here
I told her that I wanted to find here and I didn’t know where to start
I decided to stop for a drink and I found her in this bar
She looked at me and she shook her head and she started for the door
I called after her and I asked her her name and she got really sore
I told her that I never knew and stayed for another while
I told her that mind was in love and I want to give her a try
She stood there looking at me through the eyes of a girl
I told her that never stopped thinking about her all over this world
And then I told her that I wanted to be hers no matter what it took
I pulled her close and said in her ear lets write another book
I wanna be with you…..
If you find yourself standing beside the road thinking what have I done
