Indulgence

Written during my first February Album Writing Month, in 2017, "Coming for You" was written at a time when the climate towards Immigrants coming into the United States was very violent. The lyrics twist the words, "We're coming for you", to mean "We're on our way to help you" instead of fear-mongering.

Coming for You

"Turtle Shell" / Robert Rowe
written during 50/90 challenge 2018

Ukulele: Kamoa E3 Pineapple Soprano (low g)

Lyrics:
The weight of the world, on the turtle’s shell
It’s turtles all the way down, as far as I can tell
The higher up I get, the farther down are you
The farther I can see, the less I have to do

Moaning Myrtle in the water all but flushed away
Like the baby honu don’t you wanna wish them on their way
Spreading mystical mythological wisdom out to sea
Instead of beer can rings and garbage, let the ocean be

An age an era of Yogi Berra, ain’t got the heart no more
If the world were perfect, it wouldn’t be, that’s for sure
In the pond the bond between lowest and the highest kinda makes you think
That little Mack at the bottom of the stack is more important than the banker’s ink

(Chorus - changed from original recording)
F, Bb, Csus4
