Lyrics

I told you I needed help with my lyrics. I've written two songs now, and here are the lyrics that go with them. You can give me suggestions for improvement if you wish, if you read it before I sing it at the next meeting, or not.

Robin's Egg Blue:

Blue eyes of gold

Mine behold

All I see.

You see me true

Eyes of blue

Look inside of me

Please don’t be

So blue,

So Robin’s Egg blue

Mistakes like weeds

Off good, feed;

Listen and you hear

That all I know,

Is “let that go.”

Best intention’s clear

Clear like blue,

Clear blue,

So Robin’s Egg blue

Dear, touch my skin

And begin

You hold the key

To my heart so,

Please don’t go,

So far away from me.

Don’t go,

For I’ll be blue:

So Robin’s Egg Blue

Just a child:

Trying not to think of you

is trying not to breath

I’m holding in my tears

But now I must concede

This loss would be the death of me

And still I’d hate to live

But if I still had any left

I’d give and give and give.

I am just a child;

Just a fragile child.

Love it loves me cruelly;

Broken mirror’s glass

But self-examination, no,

Please I think I’ll pass—

Shattered shards shatter light

So the image bends and breaks

And loneliness like crowded rooms

Discontentment makes.

I am just a child;

Just a tiny child.

I’m searching for myself in words

That I never wrote

I’m building up a fire in

A rotted wooden boat

I’m searching for salvation

But I’m finding only sin,

The sin of sitting still in this

Stagnant state I’m in.

For I am still a child;

But I’m a growing child.
