Original lyrics...

I Told The Earth,  I Told The Sky

Verse 1:  I remember when
the days were filled with childhood games
playin' in the puddles when it rained
those days
are far away.

Verse 2:  Years went by and then
you looked different to me
all at once you were a mystery
oh you
were someone new.

Chorus1:  AND I TOLD THE EARTH.  
I TOLD THE SKY.
I WOULD NEVER SAY GOODBYE.

Verse 3:  I remember when
we tried that tentative embrace
I read the wonder in your face
and felt
my body melt.

Repeat Chorus 1:  AND I TOLD THE EARTH.    
I TOLD THE SKY.
I WOULD NEVER SAY GOODBYE.

Bridge:  Love was the treasure
we were given to hold.
Your eyes blazed with diamonds
and filled my heart full of gold.

Verse 4:  Years went by and then
we'd talk as day was turning dark
walking in that ragged seaside park
despite
the dying light.

Chorus 2:  AND TODAY I TOLD THE EARTH.  
I TOLD THE SKY
GOODBYE, MY LOVE.
 MY LOVE, GOODBYE.


Lyrics after the rewrite...

Far Away

Verse 1:
I remember
When the days were filled with childhood games
Jumpin’ in the puddles
When it rained
Those days are far away
So far away
So far… away.


Chorus1: 
I told the earth
I told the sky
Why did you ever say goodbye?

Why did you find your way to the core of me
then leave me alone with this mystery?

Life goes on
and takes its toll
I carried you
in my soul


Chorus2: 
I told the earth
then I told the sky
how I yearn for wings
how I want to fly
they both know I want to touch you once more
before I die

Those memories of our yesterdays
warm my heart
remembering how all at once
we felt the passion start
and though our time was all too brief
I still love you 
from far away

Far away
So far away
So far…

Far Away

A lighter take on the apocalypse,

D                  D6
Ronnie is selling
Fmaj7                       Bb
High-end fall out shelters.
D                               D6
Liberals taking control,
Fmaj7                           Bb
The Union's falling apart.
D                  F
Everyone hiding in their hole
Bb                  A7
Powergrid failing.

Em                                            Gm
I'm looking through the keyhole,
A                                                 D     C
to what's happening in Prepperland.
Em                                            Gm
I'm looking through the keyhole,
A                                                 D     C
to what's happening in Prepperland.

I don't understand

All of the pharmacies
got robbed in the night.
And all of this civilization 
That we held so dear,
is bound to disappear:
Here come the robots!

chorus

Ronnie is praying
that his kids will be okay,
Fires are raging
in the forests along the way.
Refugees waiting in line
to take that jump,
from the cliff.

Chorus
Em                                Gm
I counted on your sanity
A                                      D   C
but I admit I don't understand
                    Bm         C
How this got so out of hand.

What You Won't Do for Love

I am a lyricist who has written songs in a variety of genres.

I joined SoundCloud to achieve two basic objectives: 1) Find musicians who want to perform and record the songs I've already had a part in writing. 2) Find songwriters to write music for the lyrics I've written or will write in the future. And musicians who'd like to help record these songs.

Far Away
