All We Have (Dance with Me)

 

My newest compostion is now availabe for free download on Reverb Nation. It is called "All We Have (Dance with Me)". Now that I have learned how to compose something besides 12 bar blues, I guess I better figure out how to sing. Or maybe someone that can really sing will like it and and decide to do it right! Please let me know if the song calls to you!

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.

Milk the Moon

The way we go is cold and long.


It’s far too far to right the wrong.


The curves are steep, but the shoulder’s strong,


You’ll never catch us …………..without a song.






The dreams we bleed have slipped from sane.


The hearts we hold are full of pain.


Still no reason for a sad refrain,


We can melt the stars………free our brain.






The last one left to write is screaming,


the demons there to fight.


When liquid light is a streaming,


Just reach into the sky…and milk the moon.






All will be there all too soon,


Our heads spun open, cracked with dawn,


Our bodies all disarmed,


Swinging true to form ……….we punch the sun.






We’ll run this road until we’re gone.


Y’know feeling good can’t be wrong.


Our tears are warm and hearts are strong,


You’ll never catch us …………..without a song.






The last one left to write is screaming,


the demons there to fight.


When liquid light is a streaming,


Just reach into the sky…and milk the moon.

The Mojo Queen

I was walking down the street, who you think I see?


All the people move away, as she walk up to me.


She the Mojo Queen, the Mojo Queen, the Mojo Queen, the Mojo Queen.






With each step the ground it shook.


Everybody talk 'bout the money she took.


She look you in the eye, and shake her monkey paw.


She stick her daddy with a pin just to see him fall.


She the Mojo Queen, the Mojo Queen, the Mojo Queen, the Mojo Queen.






She keep two eunuchs to keep her clean.


It take two words to get her mean.


She eats crude oil, drink gasoline.


She'll saw off your arm to steal your ring.


She the Mojo Queen, the Mojo Queen, the Mojo Queen, the Mojo Queen.






She makes her blend of eyes and tails.


If that don't do it, she's got her pills.


She makes young women cry and old men scream,


When she talks with ghosts and reads your dreams.


She the Mojo Queen, the Mojo Queen, the Mojo Queen, the Mojo Queen.






She seduced me with her rooster wine,


wiggled her lip and made my hoodoo shine,


then she sprouted warts inside my hand,


and turned my woman into a man.


She a Mojo Queen, the Mojo Queen, the Mojo Queen, the Mojo Queen






She the Mojo Queen, the Mojo Queen, the Mojo Queen, the Mojo Queen


She the Mojo Queen, the Mojo Queen, the Mojo Queen, the Mojo Queen


She the Mojo Queen, the Mojo Queen, the Mojo Queen, the Mojo Queen.
