High Flying Wings

Last night's recording/songwriting was so fun I just had to record something else. This one is old (for me, new for you!) so it's a bit more together than most of the stuff I post. Still don't know a thing about actually recording though. :P


High Flying Wings

No more trouble O Lord
No more heavy load

And no disrespect but I'd like to collect
on that glory reward that's coming to to me:
A pair of high flying wings

I just don't fit these clothes
Shoes got to tight on me
And I don't like the road
It got too dark to see

And I don't mean to offend
But I'd like to contend
Been pushed down to long
I got to put on:
A pair of high flying wings

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That sang of glories to come
I once was lost (O how lost I was) but how profound
The shining road into the sun

And no disrespect but I'd like to collect
Don't mean to offend but I got to contend
Been pushed down to long
I need to put on:
A pair of high flying wings

And I'll fly away
(One glad morning when this life is gone)
When I die
Hallelujah, hallelujah bye and bye
I'll fly away

I will remain: A new song about loving in hard times

I wrote this tonight. As usual, it's rough and the recording is lousy mostly because I barely know how to do it... :) Still like it though.

I Will Remain

A love like this: heart broken all the time
Don't think I would have wanted this, had I known in time
Far before the first kiss, I knew you were mine
To bleed for you all my days, alive and dying

But I will remain, whatever the cost
I need this pain, couldn't stand the loss
Whatever it takes, for you my love
A heart that breaks, over a heart of rock

O it's more than I can do to change to change my ways
Be the woman of your desire and close the space
Between the things we don't do, what we never say
No kiss, no touch, no 'I love you', no long embrace

But I will remain, whatever the cost
I need this pain, can't stand the loss
Whatever it takes, for you my love
A heart that breaks, over a heart of rock

But I will remain, whatever the cost
I need this pain, couldn't stand the loss
I've lifted you high, I know I should not
My blood, the love, the rhythm of my broken heart
My blood, the love, the rhythm of my broken heart

A love like this: heart broken all the time
Don't think I would have wanted this, had I known in time
Far before the first kiss, I knew you were mine
To bleed for you all my days, alive and dying
