Really liking this, Tamora! Nice melody line, and good half story!

This is the kind of storytelling that I love, hope to see it finished soon!

Fantastic lyrics! Ooh these are gold, evocative but still plenty mysterious.

Wonderful lyrics, Tamora! Interesting to learn you have tank-tops in the US too!

"One Guess" (#415, 201115)

Where'd she get them baby blues
That was my request
She blinked those beauties back at me
Like I'll give you one guess

Oughtta' have a license to kill
Walkin' 'round in that dress
Ain't the 5-0 hot on the trail
She said I'll give you one guess

One guess come on what's your name
It's too much for my lizard brain
Three wishes and they're all the same
One guess and no regrets

What's a fella' gotta' do
To leave a gal like her impressed
She turned her head and laughed out loud
I'll give you one guess

One guess come on what's your name
It's too much for my lizard brain
Three wishes and they're all the same
One guess and no regrets

We're at the diner and the lights are low
And my heart's a mess
Gotta' ask if I can take you home
She gave me one guess

Week 47a - One Guess (201115)

Farmer’s Faith by Erin Wolf, Laurie & David Easterling © 11/17/2020 Little Chute, WI and Oak Ridge, TN

Like lightning on the horizon 
When the thirsty land is barren 
Brings the promise of rain
And my still small hope for the grain  

The wind keeps pushing me along
Chimes sing mysterious songs  
Weathervane is spinning 
Am I losing or winning                                                                                                                                 
Wind keeps on pushing me along

Working to feed my family
Ploughing fields planting seed
Waiting on the rains that will bring
Empty winter fields into spring

Waiting for the great unknown
Rain to water fields we have sown
Wheat will take root and grow tall
A farmer’s faith is never small

Farmer's Faith

hear the wind howling in the trees tonight
all this gale roaring in its flight
my true love has gone away, what am i to do
dawn is nigh, but it's coming without you

i called your name what felt like 1,000 times
as the air moved singing through the chimes
you left without a word, not a clue where you'd go
what in the hell has got you feeling so low

are you 
are you coming home

is this really how you wanna end it all
after everything we've made it through, standing tall
i stood by your side through thick and thin
but i guess in the end, nobody wins

don't worry about me, i'll be just fine
this time, darling, it was you who crossed the line
time for me to go and cauterize this wound
good luck whatever wherever you're marooned

don't
don't bother coming home

this is really how you wanna end it all
after everything we've made it through, standing tall
i stood by your side through thick and thin
but i guess in the end, nobody wins
nobody wins
nobody wins

One Guess (Don't Bother)

Like a ship to the shore
The waves to the waiting wild
Tell me something more
Honey, I’ve been waiting a while

To hear your call
A siren on the sea
Wondering if after all
You were wondering

Carved here out of stone
Built a searching light
You called me on the phone
Said we were ships passed in the night

If it’s what you’re looking for
Darling, I am the shore

I’m not going anywhere

Ship To Shore - Song a Week 2020, Week 48

G                                   C                     D/F#                G
There’s a dry desert breeze in the air here tonght
                  G                C             D/F#
but we’re only half way thru November
                 EM                   C                    D/ZF#             G
AND this year has been so hard and such a long figt
        
                C               D                G
oh lets finish the year well together

        C                                                      EM              D/F
and remember the days that were lonely and long
                      C                                    D
when we stayed in for what seemed forever
               G                    C                       D/F                EM
but we got to hang out here and write and few songs
             C                      D                  G
yeah I think we are all pretty clever



C          G          D/F      G
C         EM           D/F       G
 OH OH NO HOH OIHO

As springs singing out with its bloom and its grow
           \G            C           D/F#
The music still reaches wherever
          EM                   C            D/F#           G
From north, east, south, or westward we go 
   C                    D             G
All of these changes, we weather

C                                EM       D/F#
What lies ahead, we haven’t a clue
            C                               D     
    But even for worse or for better
 G                  C         D/F#   EM
I’ll make it through right here next to you
            C                  D            G
Oh let’s make it a time to remember

november niki+ erin SAW2020

on another episode of writing songs about TV shows...
I had the initial idea for this song about three weeks ago. I finally sat down and wrote it two weeks ago. And I finished recording it TODAY. FINALLY.

Lyrics:

You'd be surprised 'bout how heavy is the suitcase I brought
despite leaving behind 10 ton of hurt for a long shot.
A chameleon hiding out for its life, took your hand and you took mine.
We were just doing fine but I can't help to be myself back.

'Till I remember I left my ID back home,
I guess that I don't need it to say goodbye in your car.
Throw my arms to the wind, the soundtrack is your laugh
and I'm afraid I won't breathe it in enough.

Don't mind me, I'm just hoping my lungs will be cleaner
after one last night in Cartagena.

A baby deer learning how to walk in high heels,
I never knew what's like to start with the easiest thing.
Would you collect all the times I said no cause I was scared,
and light them into fireworks, hold me close and turn them into yes?

Oh mon amour, I left my ID back home,
I guess that I don't need it to say goodbye in your car.
Throw my arms to the wind, the soundtrack is your laugh
and if I look at your eyes, I can breathe it in enough.

Don't mind me, I'm just hoping my lungs will be cleaner
after one last night in Cartagena.

And just like in the movies you say
I've been here all along.
And I would stay with you here
until my days are gone.

'Till I remember I left my past back home,
and it's faster than me, so though it hurts I have to go.
"Don't you forget about me" you sound like paradise
cause for the first time I wanna say it back.

Don't mind me, I'm just hoping my lungs will be cleaner
after one last night in Cartagena.
(Throw my arms to the wind, the soundtrack is your laugh
and I look at your eyes to breathe it in enough)

last night in Cartagena

This is half of a story.  Perhaps I will return to this idea later.

Collide (On the Other Side)

Well you know I saw it coming
Should have never crossed the tracks
But when I’m feeling good
It’s kind of hard to turn back

Well you know I spilled the coffee
On my only crisp white shirt 
But my tank top sure is sexy
Though my sneakers have seen some dirt

Oh I know we will collide
Cause I don’t belong — on the other side

Well you know he had the money
Had a gold watch and black tie
His jokes were stiff but funny
Hard to look him in the eye

Oh I know we will collide
Cause I don’t belong — on the other side
