A few weeks back, when I was working at this farmers store in Bethany, MO, a series of country songs were playing, many about relationships ending. Being a fan of both sad songs and country, I naturally gained a pip in my step, carrying on with my duties sprightly. The songs, lyrically trying on my emotions, inspired me to spontaneously develop a composition, though, I never got it on paper. What I can remember of it, is kind of turbulent, and I think to lay myself on the line, and express my work via singing, would be equally comical in delivery. So, here is what I can muster, i may have paraphrase or added some:
"I am glad to know, that what we had was sweet
and that it wasn't short, boy that was a feat.
We had our dreams, and aspirations
so great they were, that we would end up
at different destinations.
We were very different, in how we got along
on life's path, but I guess in a way
that's what makes love strong.
I dreaded that day, I knew it was a coming,
but hoping that maybe, it was all nothing.
But you made my nightmare true
now I have to lay my head, next to what was you-Chorus-
And though I hate to keep on pretending,
This world will keep on spinning.
And though I tried my best, to get a night's rest
My dreams fill with you, and me with duress.
And though it sometimes helps, being out on the lake,
to forget that it was your hand, I planed to take.
I got to live with the facts, it is and will always be the end
It's still nice to at least call you friend."
There was more, I had an hour longer than usual shift, but I forgot most of it, like I said. Hope it's not too cheesy
