This was inspired by a children's book I once read. I can only write down the melody, lyrics, chords. I don't know how to play instruments.  Any collaborators on this to make it sound nice would be welcome! :) I'd like to put the pdf of my music with lyrics down, but can't figure out where or how. ???
Since I cannot upload my music, I'll just put down the lyrics. Dang.
chords: verses- D, C. Chorus- D, C, Eb, F, G.

verse
Seasons of hope, Seasons of fear,
Often the reasons for why we exist,
Remain unclear,
Water will rise, Water will fall,
When there is snow or a drought there is no
Reflection at all.
verse
Secrets we keep, Afraid to share,
Sometimes a heart that is frozen with pain,
Lies in despair,
Water will flow, Follow its course,
A heart may descend into deep winter sleep
To seek
Its source.
chorus
Follow the flight of the butterfly into the
Sun's golden fire,
The light will awaken the courage within you
To love and inspire
Your heart's desire

Your Heart's Desire - Copy

chords: Em, Bm, B, Gm, Dm, 
Here are the lyrics:
Tip the Velvet
verse:
Once while I lay sleeping, My spirit left the room,
And like a silkworm becomes a creature of flight,
I rose above the gloom,
I flew beyond the mountains, To a distant desert land,
And there within a prison of stone,
I took a stranger's hand
And he whispered
chorus (two voices)
man: Tip the Velvet  woman: I felt him rise
man: Tip the Velvet  woman: Into my dreams
man: Tip the Velvet  woman: And in the night
man: Tip the Velvet  woman: I heard the leopard scream
verse
He told me of his story, And his refusal to be wed,
His father the king had told him to find,
A princess for his bed,
His father had been angered, whose wishes were denied,
There would not be an heir for the king if his son,
Refused to choose a bride,
And he whispered
(repeat the chorus)
verse:
The demons of the desert, Came rising from the land,
They had tasted the tears of a lonely man's heart,
Beneath the desert sand,
They broke into the fortress, With a mighty storm of wind,
Then the demons disguised the prince to escape,
Beneath a leopard skin,
And he whispered
(repeat chorus)

verse:
The storm obscured my vision, And I could not find the prince,
After searching for him I found my way home,
I haven't seen him since,
At night I hear him call me, Beyond the mountain streams,
A man in the day, A leopard by night,
He wanders through my dreams
And he whispers
(chorus done slightly differently)
Tip the velvet  I feel him rise
Tip the velvet  Into my dreams
Tip the velvet  And in the night
Tip the velvet  I hear the leopard scream


Tip The Velvet

I like the 'love theme' for the Godfather movie. The instruments and feel of that song would be great for this song of mine, The River Song

verse:
Just as the water rises upward into space,
The sun will gently draw me into his embrace,
And as the sun will gather vapor into 
Brilliant clouds of white,
I rush into the ocean
My voice will rise into the light.
verse:
Just as the wind will send the clouds into the East,
Upon the mountains I am sent to be released,
And as the grateful earth is nourished by the 
Sun's cool tears of light,
I will become the river
My voice will rise into the night.
chorus:
And as the sun looks upon us he will cry,
He knows that as he gives us life we all must die,
Through the forest and the desert I will run
Bringing death and giving life to everyone.
verse:
And if the river through your heart has cut too deep,
You may find precious stones and treasures there to keep,
And if the river causes pain as it 
Reshapes the canyon walls,
On cliffs of pain and beauty,
The soothing voice of sunlight falls.

The River Song Guitar1993

chords: D, G, C, Em, Bm, Am, E

Drink Deep
chorus:
A flower will grow, The nectar is sweet,
Drink Deep,
The desert is still, And darkness will fall,
Drink Deep.
verse:
There is a child with open arms
Walking slowly through the mist
Don't be afraid of love
And where it will take you.

If there's a knock upon your door
Between the darkness and the light
Don't be afraid of pain
And what it will teach you.
Break:
Oooooooooh, 
Oooooooooh.

chorus:
A flower will grow, The nectar is sweet,
Drink Deep.
The desert is still, and darkness will fall,
Drink Deep,
Drink Deep,
Drink, Oooooooooh, Oooooooooooooh.

Drink Deep

Ancient Sarmatian legend inspired this piece. I can only sing this as I play no instruments. I have written down my music, chords and words if anyone wants to see them. I can hear folk, rock... metal? in my head for instruments. I'd love for someone to want to put guitar and band to my song. 
chords: verses and chorus - C, Db, Bbm,
