I’ve been on a bit of a creative tear lately and I sat down just to mess around the guitar and pulled out some old lyrics and rounded them out and, well, this is the result. I really like it, but then, I have bad taste a lot of the time. It’s a real rough version, but I wanted to go ahead and put it up, because I’ve got nowhere else to put it.

The moon let go of the sky last night,
I’d never seen it fall from so high,
And the next day, the son did die,
And the father cried “why, oh why?”
And I heard the mother attempted suicide,
Because the sky was missing her sunshine,
The stars had fallen from her eyes,
And gone was a future that was right.
And she screamed “please, just let me be, I don’t know if I ever want to see,
The sun’s glow,
So for one week, all alone, she locked herself inside of her home,
Just going through all of his things, listening to the songs he loved to sing,
And she hums along as she’s sits, trying to find out what she missed,
Now they try to move on with their lives,
Put his in a box and set it aside,
But the pictures are still on the wall,
Reminders that they still are whole,
There have been fights and tears near every day,
Neither one knows what to say,
They’ve got a daughter now, about four,
Wondering what her mom’s always looking for,
She says, “Mommy, please, don’t cry, don’t know if I can help,
But I’d like to try,
She’s the spitting image of her brother, that never got the chance,
To love her,
And cracking jokes on her father’s lap,
It was the first time he laughed,
It was the first time, since that night, it was the first time
Everything was fine.
