*** Cobi M wrote this as an instrumental.  He wrote the title and all the instruments.  I heard it and loved it and asked if he would mind if I put lyrics, vocals and a melody to it.  He graciously said yes.  It was a pleasure - Cobi rocks...you can listen to the instrumental of this song and his other fine works on his SoundCloud page https://soundcloud.com/arom22



Looked in Your Eyes and Saw the Sunrise

Cobi M/DWS (2013)

I whistle after dark
when I’m walking home alone
I whistle after dark
to kid myself I’m not alone

I whistle after dark
to chase the Moon away
I whistle after dark
so the stars have no say

Then I looked in your eyes
and saw the Sunrise

I whistle after dark
‘cause I lost the will to sing
I whistle after dark
until the telephone rings

I whistle after dark
after the birds have flown away
I whistle after dark
‘cause I don’t know what to say

Then I looked in your eyes
and saw the Sunrise

I whistle after dark
when I’m walking home alone
I whistle after dark 
to kid myself I’m not alone

Then I looked in your eyes
and saw the sunrise.

Looked in Your Eyes and Saw the Sun Rise (with Cobi M)

This is the place where I put my songs, some unfinished, some done so much you will be wishing for a fork to taste the succulent and maybe stir a little. 

Thanks for stopping by and listening to my music. All tracks are demos. If you'd like to say hi or collaborate, get in touch!

More music on Spotify and Bandcamp. Also, please check out my playlists, three compilations of some of my favourite tracks from a wide range of incredible, creative souls on SC.

You never know where a song is going until it reaches the end. I always listen from start to finish for that very reason.
