I have been blessed occasionally with those 'out-of-body' experiences. The ones where your soul goes to some kind of candyland, and creative juices are rampantly falling off all the flora and into your mind.
But, sometimes, it can feel like a curse because I'll be almost asleep, or I'll wake up out of a dream with the most amazing lyrical melody(ies). Of course, at the time it's amazing. Sometimes I go back and think...what the hell. that sucks...
Anyway, my favorite/worst experiences are when I have a dream and I hear the music, it associates with the dream.
This song was originally just a Honky Tonk idea, but I thought I would add a nice twist.
Maybe you've seen it before, but hopefully, it gets a reaction.
The One I Lost
Well, you told me to go, but at night I linger
Hanging around your door wailing and moaning
Well, I can’t let you go until you show me
Tell me you loved me babe and I’ll move on
It’s so hard babe, you want me to stay away now
But I wish you knew the pros would outweigh the cost
It ain’t right girl, now you cry for me nightly
Gripping my picture, wiping tears, crying, ‘You’re the one I lost!’
Do you even see why can’t you listen
I’m standing here, but still you choose to ignore
You walk into the room, sometimes with a startle
You stare at me as if I shouldn’t be there
It’s just hurtful, you treating me like a stranger
But, won’t you ever see I’m still the same guy
It ain’t right girl Now you seem to be worried
Gripping your cross praying that I’ll see the light
Sometimes at night Honey, you shiver
Even though you are wrapped in my arms
There are so many blankets piled up on you
Still you never seem to get warm
It’s just so strange that apart we seem to be alright
Together we’re on a windy road that’s unpaved
It ain’t right girl if I’m around well, I drain you
I’m hanging to thoughts that we can still be saved
Now your walking down the road so I guess I’ll follow
Down a road that seems familiar to me
With some flowers in your hand you walk to the graveyard
I didn’t think we knew anybody there
You sit & place white tulips on a marker
I don’t understand, there reads my name…
Solo Break
It ain’t right girl you’re sitting at my tombstone
Gripping your tissue wiping tears crying, ‘You’re the one I lost!’
Now I wrap my arms around you so gently
You smile and close your eyes and sprout a tear
I kiss your cheek and whisper that I’m going
Beyond the veil but still I’ll always be here
