Demo only. Week ending 06/10 0f 2023 Songwriting Group. (No prompt)

I met you the first time on the cell
When you asked for Rachel’s hand
Later you asked me how to land
without a scratch on a bed of nails

I didn’t know how hard you fought
The pain your brain caused you
The incessant commands to hit Undo
each breath you reluctantly drew

We thought you’d found the help
You finally asked for, Steven,
But it was just a kindness
To prepare us for your leaving
Just two more sleeps
Then we’ll all meet
Just two more sleeps

I told her you’d be fine now
Admitted at last for help
But “No Threat To Himself”
Is what they jotted down

I’m glad you reached her on the phone
So she could rest that night
Before you turned off the light and
Left her on the bed of nails alone

CHORUS

I drove all night to Tennessee
To feel your warm hand chill in mine
As my daughter kissed you goodbye 
And held you as they switched you free

A decade on she finally smiles
Still every once in a while it seems
She feels it all again and weeps
For you and your lost child

	CHORUS

Two More Sleeps - Rick Watson

That Energy

I can’t always deal
With everything I feel so
I gently start to fade
And don’t care what is real

I can’t always tell when
Things aren’t going well then
I find I’m upside down
And under my own spell

But I like that energy
I’m digging your energy
But I like that energy
I’m digging your energy
It’s unknown
It’s like nothing that I’ve ever known

I can’t always know love
How life will come and go 
If I could only understand more
Of what everyone else knows

I can't always see
The harm that comes to me
When I take a darker turn
Then no one is reaching me 

But I like that energy
I’m digging your energy
But I like that energy
I’m digging your energy
It’s unknown
It’s like nothing that I’ve ever known

But I like that energy
I’m digging your energy

But I like that energy
I’m digging your energy

But I like that energy
I’m digging your energy

Shoo be doo wop bop shoo doo wop
Shoo be doo wop bop shoo doo wop
Shoo be doo wop bop shoo doo wop
Shoo be doo wop bop shoo doo wop

It’s unknown
It’s like nothing that I’ve ever known

That Energy
