When she was young, she lived by the sea
Spoke in a tongue, that I couldn't speak
She had a dad that, she'd never meet
Sang sad songs, that I couldn't sing

Grew up to become a young teen
Knew one day she'd up n leave
That day came up and suddenly
That's the way she'd come to me

She came to a coast she'd never seen
Except in the post or magazines
We first got close, in her late teens
We both went on, to do great things

She got married n divorced twice
I stayed with my wife til the day she died
She found my profile, one night online
I was goin' wild, she was right on time

Now she's wiser and older, and values her privacy
The fire now smolders, likes to spend time with me
On her book, her art nothing she does surprises me
She cooks, she's smart and keeps close eyes on me

She came to a coast she'd never seen
Except in the post or the silver screen
We first got close, in her late teens
We both went on, to do great things

She got married and divorced twice
I stayed with my wife til the day she died
She found my profile, one night online
I was goin' wild, she was right on time

When she was young, she lived by the sea
Spoke in a tongue, which I couldn't speak
She never gave up, in defeat
Sang songs, that I couldn't sing

Grew up to become a young teen
Knew one day she'd up n leave
That day came up and suddenly
That's the way she'd come to me

She came to a coast she'd never seen
Except in the post or magazines
We first got close, in her late teens
We both went on, to do great things

She got married n divorced twice
I stayed with my wife til the day she died
She found my profile, one night online
I was goin' wild, she was right on time

Knew one day she'd up n leave
That day came up and suddenly
That's the way she'd come to me
Yeah, that's the way she'd come to me

She'd Come to Me - Right on Time

I am a 'long suffering' songwriter.  What I 'suffer from' is a lack of ability to learn or play instruments or read music in real time from a staff with notes on it. Initially, I just wrote lyrics that no one would read.  So I began creating a capella vocal melodies that no one would listen to.  
     I learned to drag and drop notes onto a staff with software. . . which helped a little.  Microsoft came out with (for a little while) a software they called a music creator, but was actually just useful as a "chord generator".  That helped a little bit more.  I collaborated with talented musicians. . . and eventually found an incredibly talented professional musician who helped me to 'professionalize' some of my amateur offerings and didn't charge me money.  WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE.  I had over 400 songs that were (according to musicians) "good ideas poorly played."  Then a friend suggested A.I. music.  Six months ago, the A.I. allowed me to create better music than I could manage on my own.  But it was "hit or miss."  A lot of work to make it do what I wanted instead of just letting it create what it wanted, and a lot of just plain luck involved.  THEN. . . within six months, the A.I. site allowed me to "cover my own songs," keeping MY vocal melody and vocal treatment (for the most part anyway) and MY (or my collaborators') instrumental melodies and finding far better and more professional instrumentation for the same melodies.  THAT was heaven.  I am truly blessed, and finally have justification for musical ideas I had as much as twenty five years ago.  Now, you can listen and evaluate whether it truly WAS worth sticking with it for the last thirty years.
