Until

[up-fiddler]

Hey gang - Haven't been here for a while. This is very unlike my usual lyric content but the short choppy stanzas that I am known for still persist. Feel free to have a go at her. Melody is still at the rattling around the brain stage.

Until
Dave Morehouse c.2010

Full moonlight, at midnight
Moon shadow times two
A porch swing, a diamond ring
Some marital glue.

He laughs and she cries
They’re happy all the same
They’ve shared joy and sorrow
And soon a last name.

chs
It happens that way
Ten thousand times a day
All over the world
Emotions unfurled
And try as I might
I can’t enjoy the night
Until it can happen for me.

A rooftop, a skyline
A man sits alone
A wish on the evening star
A future unknown

He stares at his shoes
As he walks downward home
He slows at her doorway
And finds her at home.

chs
It happens that way
Ten thousand times a day
All over the world
Emotions unfurled
And try as I might
I can’t enjoy the night
Until it can happen for me.

And try as I might
I can’t enjoy the night
Until it can happen for me.

Seriously, this tune is in its infancy and if there is any constructive input laying in wait out there I would embrace it. Thanks, Dave.
