awesome steve. I dig the metaphorical lyrics. (hope metaphorical is a word)  Typical excellent Steve Low song writing

Sometimes gems arise when you peck at a song!

Ha - thanks for providing the chord progression in the lyrics - starlings have battles too I guess - I tend to misread things too and that can lead to some interesting thoughts

The Wires That Hold Heaven Snapping And Coiling Across The Sky

SITTING TOGETHER

We can sit together, watch the sun shine through the window,
or stay in bed with the curtains closed.
Read to each other from a book of poetry,
anything you want to do is good with me.

I’m happy to give you all my time,
sent on the wings of a dove.
As long as I’m with you, you know I’m fine.
Sitting together in love.

We can get up, cook us something good to eat,
or wander to the cafe at the end of the street.
Drink a margarita or a cup of tea,
anything you want to do is good with me.

I’m happy to give you all my time,
sent on the wings of a dove.
As long as I’m with you, you know I’m fine.
Sitting together in love.

I’ve been without you once or twice,
never did like it from the start.
In the dark I had to turn on the light
without you I just fall apart.

I’m happy to give you all my time,
sent on the wings of a dove.
As long as I’m with you, you know I’m fine.
Sitting together in love.

We can go walking in all kinds of weather,
or stay home and watch a silent film together.
Laughing and dancing as our ideas unfurl,
planning how we are gonna take over the world.

I’m happy to give you all my time,
sent on the wings of a dove.
As long as I’m with you, you know I’m fine.
Sitting together in love.

Sitting together in love,
Sitting together in love,
Sitting together in love.

Sitting Together (acoustic version)

I rerecorded the vocals, and remixed and mastered the track..

A change in the weather might bring me around again
You know I never liked the cold
A chance to turn this back around my friend
A chance to save my immortal soul
  
Nothing else that came so easy ever felt the same
But nothing hard to hold will ever stay
I watch the clouds form through the window pane
It fills the empty hours of the day

So I know one thing for sure…
It’s gonna rain today

The stars fall from the sky and wash up on the shore
Glowing softly blue before they fade
It’s every star i’ve ever wished upon
Now lying silent in their grave

No one that came before you made me feel that way
But I know what’s hard to hold will never stay
I watched the  stars fall from my window pane
And now I'm pleading for the light. of. day.

I know one thing for sure…
It’s gonna rain today
Somebody help me,
It’s going to rain today

Sometimes it seems this flood will never end
Sometimes it seems that all there is is drought
Sometimes the stars are shining in my hands
But they’re mostly full of doubt..

one thing’s for certain I can say…
It’s going to rain today
Somebody help me,
It’s going to rain today
Oh, won’t you save me,
Before the stars all fade away

It's Going To Rain Today

There's a fantastic 70s leaning pop-rock album  Ticket to Shangri-La  released in 2023 (Young Gun Silver Fox) with a song called Starting Wars. I miss heard and mis-read the title as Starling Wars which seemed a great metaphor for something. It could have applied to a relationship - but the 2 wars going on became the theme

Starling Wars

You fly in to foul my nest 
Seeing red I puff out my chest
Aiming at your catacombs
Dropping all my guano bombs
Flit across and I peck at you
Cause my beliefs are the only truth
Starling wars it’s about pecking order 
Starling wars gonna bomb your son and daughter

I ruffle your feathers
You think that you’re better
Ethnically superior
The plumage of an emperor
Gonna peck my eye’s right out
Squawk about it loud and proud
Starling wars it’s about pecking order 
Starling wars gonna bomb your son and daughter

Em7 Dma7 Ami7 G Bb/C F F#m7 B

Underneath there’s the dove of peace
Peeking out at the busy streets
I Wrap your eggs neath protective wings
Drop a flower confess my sins
Fleeting thought it just flies away
Revenge is sweet gonna make you pay
Starling wars it’s about pecking order 
Starling wars gonna bomb your son and daughter

Fields Of Energy

He'll Be Yours Before You Know

Lyrics: Andrea Brennan
Music, vocals and production: Amanda Marie

That first glance you see him smile
You start to feel the butterflies
Hold his eyes, the die is cast
Linger there, don't move too fast

He'll be yours before you know
The chase in on
But take it slow
Tension builds
So let it grow
And he'll be yours before you know
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
He'll be yours before you know

Love's a game of subtle clues
Hold your own, he'll come to you
Take his hand as he says hello
Linger there, as desires flow

He'll be yours before you know
The chase in on
But take it slow
Tension builds
So let it grow
And he'll be yours before you know
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
He'll be yours before you know

Solo/break

That first kiss before you rise
You see the love that's in his eyes
A lifetime has come to pass
You linger there, let the moment last

On The Run

i could go out in the fanciest outfit that i like
and i could wear the jewelry that i think would make me look nice
i could go out in the fanciest outfit that i like
and i could wear the jewelry that i think would make me look nice

could my t-shirt get any more tight?
i just want to look right for you
i just want to dance right for you
i just want to be the star on top of the tree that we grew

tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me
pretty lady

i could go out in the fanciest outfit that i like
and i could wear the jewelry that i think would make me look nice
i could go out in the fanciest outfit that i like
and i could wear the jewelry that i think would make me look nice

i'll find the right pants to wear
and i hope my shoes match your pair 

tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me
pretty lady

i could go out in the fanciest outfit that i like
and i could wear the jewelry that i think would make me look nice
