Verse:

 -      /    -   -         /           -      -     /   -     

The Saxophone played from the rooftop

 /    -      -   -  /            -  -   -    /   

As you disappeared into the night

 -      /       -    /      -     -    -      -   / 

My heart so yearned for you to stop

  -     -   /      -   /        -   /       

But no way to make it right


Chorus:

-      /     -     /   -    -       -     /    

My life still echos with the pain

 -    /    -    /      -  - /   - -             

Of all the lost possibilites

 -          /              /       -     /    -    - 

These thoughts spinning endlessly

 -     /        -     /     -       -    -    / 

like Chasing Shadows in the Rain

Week 5 Song for Songwriting Course

 

The Archer

My life has been changing in unusual ways
At last in my life there is a light through the haze
It draws me and guides me and shows me my fame
What it has been and can be, how to end all the games

Chorus:
And these things I do for you
Our story both beautiful and true
With your touch I become something new
So these things I do for you

I feel like the archer who must win the prize
Even though the results will strip away his disguise
Still I pull back the bow and the arrow let fly
Knowing full well that my freedom may die

 (Chorus)

 You see love is my arrow and contest is life
And your love as the trophy is worth all the strife
Though I know not the outcome, and the stakes are so high
I do know that this love cannot be denied
 
(Chorus)

I’ve lived all my life as a robber and a thief
But my colors have changed like a late autumn leaf
Love as I have found it makes the gamble worthwhile
I’ll lay down my disguise for one of your smiles

 (Chorus)
