Surfer Girl

Here's the song I wrote in Paul Riesler's Song School class. It was based on the story of another student. We all traded stories and then wrote songs about them. I wanted to try something new and break out of my 12 bar box. Please let me know what you think.

Here's the lyrics: 

Surfer Girl

Stay away

Please stay away,

Poison love

kills more each day.

The sea inside

red with pain,

bites her skin,

cuts

through

again.

Stay away.

Please stay away.

Needs your love,

she pulls away.

Dressed in black,

black fingernails,

smeared black lips,

down

she

slips.

Catch the wave

that comes to save.

Learn to ride

that place inside.

Hold the gold,

make it stay.

The surfer Girl

is born today.

On her board

she caught her wave,

matters not

what the ocean gave.

She can fly,

turn herself around,

land like a kiss,

feet

on

ground.

Blackened shell

shed that night,

colors bleed

from broken light,

digs her hand

into the sand,

her aqua eyes,

dance

with

light.

Catch the wave

that comes to save.

Learn to ride

that place inside.

Hold the gold,

make it stay.

The surfer Girl

is born today.
