for songwriting group...the prompt was "Haunt"

favorite haunt

POGWHIP - Haunted DEMO

Stay silent
Simple choices
Don’t complicate it oh yeah

In the morning
That same feeling
Not letting go again

How shall I decide
Had time enough to try
What to say?
Cowardice aside I often want to hide it
Anyway

Here we are
Years later
How much have we changed?

Deep emotion 
Autopilot
Getting over the strain 

Chorus x 2

Time Enough To Try

I went looking for it in the sound of ‘91
The proof was in the kiss and in king’s x it’s love
It was a song for love, a sixties mind, a bull’s eye guitar
Glittering in every step a rising joy star

Walked around a dying tree with dust arms raised 
I found it in the copper caps and white stalk maze
The devil falls and living walls, splash stone floor
Shimmering in every step a rising joy star

In the now, in the end, it’s there in a memory’s hum
I vow to attend to the pointlessness swelling inside
You’ll SEE me rise, with a truth loud as a snare drum
Leaving the Past and the future behind

Making something out of nothing music in our minds
Push it farther move it closer dreaming unwinds
Listening with intent a syncing of hearts
Vibrating every step a rising joy star

Imagination, effortless, no need to worry
Loosening the beat, goodness no need to worry

In the now, in the end, it’s there in a memory’s hum
I vow to attend to the pointlessness swelling inside
You’ll see me rise, with a truth loud as a snare drum
Leaving the past and the future behind

Songwriting Challenge Jan 2023

Here we are again
In the light of another place
Holding time again
With that glow up on your face

I want to reach right through 
Feel the space of another climb
What we might do 
If we gave ourselves the time

Don’t you know we are part of the same matter
A couple of stars explode
you and me end up on the same platter
Why can’t we be together doing the same thing
Instead of having this space between us
When we’re playing the same string.

Time Enough To Try
