what does anyone have to say about this song I wrote?
keep in mind, I write vocal harmonies like Simon and Garfunkel, so these are not intended to be pop. anyways, it doesn't have a name yet, like many of the songs I have written.
The moonlight seeps through my window
But it's crowded out by my lamplight
I wore down the road chasing a glow
I watched an empty day fade to night
Why can't I sleep?
Wandering deep
Through the midnight's keep
I stagger
My eyes may shut, though I can't sleep
And I hope that my slumber comes soon
There's a memory that I must seek
Yet I know that it cannot be true
Why can't I sleep?
Lonely thoughts creep
In the midnight's keep
They hold her
The moonlight seeps through my window
Now the hesitant pen comes to write
Life's loneliest songs like the winds blow
Let my silent ways kiss me goodnight
Let my emptiness hug the moonlight
I know. I was always a more melancholy writer...
well, it's about that point in a relationship when you realize that you will never be able to relate to the other person, and so it ends. and, therefore, you feel empty and can't sleep, and all you can do is chase the memory that slowly fades away. it's more about chasing a feeling than not being able to sleep.
yes, I can admit I do now see the flaw in those stanzas. thanks
and, though you think it's deep, I have heard much deeper. look up the lyrics to "The Sounds Of Silence" or "A Poem On The Underground Wall"

Not bad... I really don't think this stanza belongs...
Why can't I sleep?
Lonely thoughts creep
In the midnight's keep
They hold her
I think "lonely thought creep" and "they hold her" sounds choppy and doesn't fit as well... other than that... pretty good... the lyrics can definitely be considered deep!
