\"Forget<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

N<\/span>ew song. Brand new. Written minutes before this was recorded.<\/p>\n

Too tired to write more. Must sleep.<\/p>\n\n

Addendum: I had, perhaps obviously, just hit ‘the wall’ as I was posting this song last night. It had been so dang long since I’d written a song that when I found myself writing this late yesterday evening, I pushed hard to finalize it enough to record it and get it posted.<\/p>\n

I suppose it’s a little late for me to act sheepish about posting my lyrics, but I was struck last night by just how little of the flavor of the song is captured by the printed word. It is, of course, often problematic printing out short rhyming lines meant to be sung… they have a tendancy to look even lamer than they may or may not sound and syncopated rhythmic phrasing of the sung line has a tendancy to look awkward at best on the printed page or screen.<\/p>\n

But, well, that’s what we do here, for better or worse, so… without further ado, my new song:<\/p>\n

Forget About the Moon<\/span><\/p>\n

forget about me
\nforget about you
\nforget all the pretty things
\nwe were gonna do<\/p>\n

forget about the moon<\/span>
\nforget about the stars<\/span>
\nforget about forever<\/span>
\nwe’ve already come too far<\/span><\/p>\n

forget about the times
\nyou lay by my side
\nforget how I thought
\nyou’d be there all my life<\/p>\n

forget about the moon…<\/span><\/p>\n

forget about those dreams
\nthey’re just castles in the sky
\nforget all those plans we’d make
\nlying awake at night<\/p>\n

forget about the moon…<\/span><\/p>\n
