Shades of Midnight

[Verse 1]
You’re a storm wrapped in a velvet streak
A wildfire burning soft but sleek
Your shadow lingers like a sweet mistake
A spark that wakes me when I’m half awake

[Verse 2]
The echoes dance in the hollow dim
Your laugh’s a symphony that pulls me in
You’re reckless beauty bottled in time
A shattered rhythm I still call mine

[Chorus]
Our love’s a fire it can’t be tamed
A tidal wave that won’t be named
The stars they shatter lose their light
But you and I we burn through night

[Bridge]
We’re jagged edges but the fit’s just right
A messy bloom in the dead of night
Like stolen whispers through the air
We're tangled chaos beyond repair

[Verse 3]
Beneath the ashes
The embers glow
A secret language only we know
The world it bends it folds it breaks
But our bond’s the ghost that nothing shakes

[Chorus]
Our love’s a fire it can’t be tamed
A tidal wave that won’t be named
The stars they shatter lose their light
But you and I we burn through night

Shades of Midnight

I lost my wheels, I lost my pay.
Home is just a memory now.
My wife's left, turned her back on me.
I'm left with all this slack.

[Verse 2]
Streetlights singing lullabies.
Junkies now my alibis.
People with mental health issues 
are sharing their green pills
The city's heart beats so dead.

[Chorus]
Under the porch where I lay.
Dreams fade in the night.
Holding onto the grey.
Hoping for a spark of light.

[Verse 3]
Emergency hospital ain't no fate.
The tent is too small for us
The sky's the limit.
In this life, I've woken up.

Verse 4
Concrete pillow by my side.
Lonely heart, no place to hide
Cold winds blow but I stand still.
No need now for fentanyl

OUTRO
Whispers of a better day.
Waiting for dawn to find the way.
Even shadows have their call
I'm sure one day a door might just swing.
Bring back the man who'll be king

Mind the Gap       Lyrics in description

Verse]
She's got a sparkle in her step today
Wears the world in a curious array
Messy hair like the winds took a twirl
She's the everyday beauty of an unordinary girl

[Verse 2]
Paint-stained jeans and a secondhand coat
She writes her own story on a wrinkled note
Eyes like secrets that light up the sky
She laughs like she doesn't need a reason why

[Chorus]
Oh unordinary girl you're a masterpiece
Turning little moments into symphonies
Every glance is like a shooting star's pearl
Oh the simple magic of an unordinary girl

[Verse 3]
She hums a tune only she understands
While the whole world trips trying to make plans
She's not a puzzle she's a whole new world
Perfect imperfection unordinary girl

[Bridge]
While others chase diamonds she stops for the rain
Finds art in the chaos beauty in pain
She's a world of her own a meteor's swirl
A fleeting wonder unordinary girl

[Verse 4]
She never walks she dances the street
Her melody plays in her shuffle of feet
She's not in the crowd she's her own swirl
Wondrous and wild unordinary girl

Unordinary girl.   Lyrics in description

All songs, -music and lyrics - are copyrighted..
As a composer, I like to sing, with my natural voice or slightly transformed with different devices, according to my mood. I also play all kinds of keyboards and a little bit of 6-string guitars, both acoustic and electric.I'm pretty old, but I've still got a fairly wide vocal range, though it's getting lower and lower.
I also have a small home studio called Vesuvius( thx Sufjan Stevens! )
I like to work alone, or with two or three partners, male or female, highly qualified.
And I get some much fun to discover amazing new talents on Soudcloud. That's why I follow more people than I'm followed by. I'm just too curious..
