Go (24-Track Project)

My Instrumental tune for Pop Song and Jingle Writing 

Otherworld Theme

A  cutesy little folk song that I wrote for my Your Style project for Pop Song


Lyrics:
 
Yeah It’s You
Every little thing you do
It’s like you’ve got me on the moon darling
And the earth stands still
 
Said It’s You
Every little thing you do
 And when you’re gone I feel so blue darling
Won’t you come back home? 

 Because I’m tired of spending one 
more night alone

And I know that I can’t do this 
On my own
 
Yeah It’s You
Every little thing you do
It’s like you’ve got me on the moon darling
And I’m never coming down 
 
Said It’s You
Every little thing you do
 And when you’re gone I feel so blue darling
Since you left this town
 
Oh the spaces in between us
Will soon subside
 
And the world will fade to stardust
As we collide



Yeah the world will fade around us
As we collide

gravedigger gravedigger what is that tall fence for 
does it keep the dead at peace 
maybe we’re just digging up holes to hold on to things we don’t need 

gravedigger gravedigger when the dark hour comes 
and the moon she lights up the sky 
why do you hide until dark shadows cast 
under the cloak of the night 

hold onto your boxes don’t dig me a grave let my memory live on in song 
bury me weeping by a willow tree or under the deep oceans roar 
scatter my ashes in the whispering wind along a winding highway 
let this earth be my tombstone let my body wither away 

gravedigger gravedigger when my bones lay to rest 
don’t go carving my name out in stone 
on a pile of dirt in a soldier’s straight row 
side by side but still so alone 

gravedigger gravedigger there’s a song still unsung 
and it rattles through earth and through clay 
A song of hope a song of love 
before I was called away 

hold onto your boxes don’t dig me a grave let my memory live on in song 
bury me weeping by a willow tree or under the deep oceans roar 
scatter my ashes in the whispering wind along a winding highway 
let this earth be my tombstone let my body wither away 

gravedigger gravedigger you poor lonely soul 
Can’t you see what’s to be in that spade? 
at the end of the day when you lay down to rest 
you’ll be lying in that grave you made
