Now, I haven't put music to this yet, but I plan to very soon. You can probably expect that in a week or two. But for now, please enjoy the lyrics to Avalanche On A Summer Day.
________________________________
[Verse 1]
I was
standing at the foot of the hill
The sweet
sun was setting
You and I,
we watched the blue skies
You must
remember the rest
[Verse 2]
You
pointed at the aging sunrise
Oh, I
didn't know what you meant
Then I
heard the graven rumble
That the
good lord above had sent
[Chorus]
There's an
avalanche on a summer day
It's
blinding bright so don't look away
The mighty
snow is rolling along
We'll
dance the night till its wrath is gone
[Verse 3]
Oh,
avalanche on a summer day
What did I
do, what did I say
I know
where to run so don't give it away
Just take
my hand and come my way
[Verse 4]
Yes, grab
my hand, let's run let's ride
We'll hide
together if we have to hide
Don't flee
the snow all on your own
We're
stronger together than we are alone
[Chorus]
Cause'
there's an avalanche on a summer day
It's
blinding bright so don't look away
The mighty
snow is rolling along
We'll
dance the night till its wrath is gone
[Verse 5]
I've said
it to many, I've learned it from few
I'm dead
and lost if I'm not with you
If the
cold kills us there'll be nothing to do
And we'll
keep dancing forever,
Just you,
me, and the Grim Reaper too
[Chorus]
Cause'
there's an avalanche on a summer day
It's
blinding bright so don't look away
The mighty
snow is rolling along
We'll
dance the night till its wrath is gone
We'll
dance the night till its wrath is gone
We'll
dance the night till its wrath is gone
[Fade out]
This is great, Jason! Especially considering you don't have much experience with songs yet. I tend to write more songs than poems myself, and it becomes challenging to keep the lyrics fresh and meaningful. Your diction, rhyme schemes, and pacing all feel really good so far, and I look forward to hearing it once you've put it to music!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I was a little nervous as to whether it would be good, but it seems to have come out rather well. I can't wait to put it to music!
DeleteOh wow! I can't wait 'til you put it to music! XD
ReplyDeleteMe neither!
