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.
