Description
I tried a different approach to songwriting with this in that I improvised the piano and garbled some notes to make a melody,then went back over it line by line and wrote some words to fit the melody,and out of that came a theme I liked which I brought back at the end.It might make a good valentines song,but its more or less a prayer not that I'm religious,but we all know the feeling of keeping your fingers crossed.Oh Ive got a bad cold too,which is why the 'n's might sound weird in the vocals.

Lyrics
Firefly
Spinning around the moon
When wars below rage on
Here there is no dismay
I have had my time to give in
To all of you
Many have seen the road to their dreams
But I only see your charm
And all of the people you have seen
And helped them along their way
We never let these fears of dying show
There in the evening light
Horizons will shine all around
Mountains will whisper of all time has found
But I never know when you are here to stay..
Will there be summers longer than weve ever known
Forever....forever...?
Is there something that the gods forgot to say
Is it really true? Are they taking you all away from pain
Then let the children walk away
They wont be broken
"Do you see the tiny lights? They guide us through the night to you.."
Will you remember all the roads we shared together
And the fire burned in your eyes
Welcome to the Sun
Our journeys jut begun
Bring in the morning with someone adoring
I can tell you need them - don't forget to show your love
For now..
Spinning around the moon
When wars below rage on
Here there is no dismay
I have had my time to give in
To all of you
Many have seen the road to their dreams
But I only see your charm
And all of the people you have seen
And helped them along their way
We never let these fears of dying show
There in the evening light
Horizons will shine all around
Mountains will whisper of all time has found
But I never know when you are here to stay..
Will there be summers longer than weve ever known
Forever....forever...?
Is there something that the gods forgot to say
Is it really true? Are they taking you all away from pain
Then let the children walk away
They wont be broken
"Do you see the tiny lights? They guide us through the night to you.."
Will you remember all the roads we shared together
And the fire burned in your eyes
Welcome to the Sun
Our journeys jut begun
Bring in the morning with someone adoring
I can tell you need them - don't forget to show your love
For now..

I like this. There's an energy and immediacy about it despite the contemplative nature of the song.
Yes this could well be a valentine's song with some lovely anthemic twists and turns.
I can see the swaying lighters now.
Cheers
