What Just Popped in There

I have just remembered how an old song of mine goes that I haven't been able to place for over a year. For some reason, it just popped into my head! It's a tune about trying as a musician to keep life and stage separate. I have to write a little more for it to be finished, but I am still ecstatic that I've remembered how it goes :) Here are the lyrics I have so far...


I love to feel you breathe at night
Shallow breaths with just the slightest hint of laughter
You lie alone

Without a sound you leave
Before the sunlight even floods the hall
Away from home

The coffee pot is empty, but the smell still fills the air
I feel your gaze behind me you're not there anywhere

I work the scene, I play my keys
It always seems so easy when you're with me
tonight you're gone

I want to play my heart
But all they want for their part is rock and pop and disco
I sing their songs

But every note I play them is a lie they can't perceive
All I really want to do is cry, oh lord I want to leave.

I crawl in bed beside you while the moon hangs in the sky
The darkness tries to hide you in the night, but I feel right
