You and Me in Seattle - lyrics

Today's our day, she said to me, so pack the life you need
I'm through with shadows incognito, and fashion magazines
Let's chase the sun to Washington and tall pacific trees
It's you and me, let's hit the road and find that salty breeze

Listen to the rain hit the window – the afternoon showers
At a downtown cafe that we've called ours
Where we sit and talk of dreams and hopes for hours upon end
And every day fall for you deeper, my love for you my friend

Leave behind what we've built in this old forgotten town
The wind is calling us so roll the windows down
Our lives are in the whine of the tires on the road
Just you and me in Seattle

Driving beside you I feel right where I belong
And I can't wait to see that new raincoat on
We'll pass the Badlands and keep going strong
It's not every day a new beginning comes along

Leave behind what we've built in this old forgotten town
The wind is calling us so roll the windows down
Our lives are in the whine of the tires on the road
Just you and me in Seattle

Today's our day, she said to me, so pack the life you need
I'm through with shadows incognito, and fashion magazines
Let's chase the sun to Washington and tall pacific trees
It's you and me, let's hit the road

Leave behind what we've built in this old forgotten town
The wind is calling us so roll the windows down
Our lives are in the whine of the tires on the road
Just you and me in Seattle

Together Alone - lyrics

The nighttime is the hardest
Without you lying here beside me
And I wake up in the morning
You're not here
And every dream I'm dreaming
Of you and me together baby
Is splintered by the sunrise
And disappears
Oh, splintered by the sunrise,
They disappear

And all the time we've ever spent together
Seems to fade away to an unearthly blackness
And is left beside the road to die alone
It doesn't even matter whether or not
I throw my whole self at this
It only serves to magnify unknowns
And still through all the time we've ever spent together
Together's been spent alone

I've walked for miles
It's cold and damp, my feet so muddy
Just to hear a word from you that's kind
And even your smile
I can't remember it seemed so lovely
But now it's disappeared from my mind
With all the things that we have left behind CHORUS

Instrumental Bridge

Still through all the time we've ever spent together
Together's been spent alone CHORUS

Where Are You Tonight - lyrics

Hi everyone. Welcome to my first blog post. I'm going to use this site to keep up to date with my songwriting. Here's the first taste. No chorus in this one--just V V B V B V (V=verse, B=bridge). Hopefully, I'll be able to get some recordings up soon, at which time I'll also post the chord chart. Enjoy :)

Where Are You Tonight...

Where are you tonight?
The darkness 'round me slowly grows deeper
And as the light fades away
My will grows weaker
So I close my eyes and I can see you smiling
You're next to me wherever I may go
But when I open them you're nowhere to be found
And I am left alone.

Do you think of me?
At night when you're alone up in your room
And do you ever dream
That we could be together soon
'Cause I'm on my knees in this never-ending darkness
You're all I see through wind and rain and snow
And there's no other who could ever love you more
And you will never know

And I know you're out there
Among the stars of night
As for me I'm still waiting patiently for you to call for you to write

I'm on my knees. It's a never-ending battle
You're all I need though the wind blows rain and snow
And there's no other who could ever love you more
And someday you will know

But what will it take for me
to prove to you it's right
I could call but still would you even care at all to reignite with me tonight?

I'm always yours even though you'll find another
I'm here for you wherever you may go
Still I pray for sunrise when the light shines on our love
So you can finally know
Just how far for you I'd go.
