Song Composition for the Coursera Songwriting course, assignment week 2

Lyrics:

Verse:
I spent my time washing my life away
Wishing for a better day
But I felt no cleaner than I did before
Standing at that door
Drowning in that rain

Chorus:
And I was soaked to the bones
I was washed up by the river
And I was sailing out to sea
In search of my lover
They said that I was mad
That I could not fight the tears
But I can see through the water 
I can see her next to me

Through The Water

Coursera Assignment Week 2 upload.

Lyrics:

Verse:
He's a painter, painting up the sky
He's a pilot, flying in his mind
He has dreams, that he'll make it some day
He'll make sure that they won't slip away

She's been walking, for a long long while
She's been wandering, the never-ending mile
Sharp stones and thorns, piercing her skin
But she'll keep marching, just to see him

Chorus:
Just in time, to watch him glide
In his plane, made of his fears
But he flew too high, caught up in his air
(Then) she watched him fall, right out of the sky

Out Of The Sky

She was in pain but she had to see
A bundle of joy, her joyous weep
She always loved to sing you to sleep
Kept you warm and made you food to eat

She watched you take your first few steps
She always kept you by her bed
She heard you say your first few words
Without her here I know it hurts


When she's gone, you won't ever be the same
But you stay strong, you'll find a way again
Your brothers, sisters and friends, they'll be watching over you
We'll be watching over you, she'll be watching over too

When She's Gone

Title: When She's Gone

She was in pain but she had to see
A bundle of joy, her joyous weep
She kissed your head and your tiny feet
Sang to you as you fell asleep

She watched you take your first few steps
She always kept you by her bed
She heard you say your first few words
Without her here, I know it hurts

Oh when she's gone, you won't ever be the same
But you stay strong, you'll find a way again
Your brothers, sisters and friends, they'll be watching over you
We'll be watching over you, she'll be watching over too

(ooo's)

Took you to school on your first day
She stood there watching from the gates
She listened to you complain
About the girl you used to date

But she won't get to meet your wife
Won't be there for your first child
She won't be there for your sellout crowds
But she'll be watching oh so proud

Oh when she's gone, you won't ever be the same
But you stay strong, you'll find a way again
Your brothers, sisters and friends, they'll be watching over you
We'll be watching over you, she'll be watching over too

(ooo's)

She had to let you go
You went off to see the world, she worried though
And every week she used to call
Now you don't wait anymore
By the phone

(ooo's)

Oh when she's gone, you won't ever be the same
But you stay strong, you'll find a way again
Your brothers, sisters and friends, they'll be watching over you
We'll be watching over you, she'll be watching over too

(ooo's)

She was in pain but she had to see
A bundle of joy, her joyous weep

When She's Gone (full)

Same as last the track, with a tiny bit of rephrasing (Back heavy phrasing and weak bar phrasing). The song is still primarily front heavy due to the overall message of the song, so as a result not much as changed - I guess I liked how it was already.

Also recorded it in a key one step higher than before.
