This is the first verse and chorus of my first song - That Two Story House - recorded at home on October 28, 2013, for Coursera Songwriting Course with Pat Pattison - his blues loop is the music for my words and composition

That Two Story House

 

She tends her window boxes on the second floor                              VERSE
Nurturing her roses till they open wide for her
He keeps his blinds drawn tightly beside the front do-or
Nursing his bottle trying hard not to keep score
Cause they don’t say much any more


Now here are two people with their two stories                              CHORUS
Trapped in their lonely little place of worries
But Love is thriving inside that two story hou-ouse 
Yeah Love is hiding inside that two story house

Oh love is thriving inside that two story hou-ouse
Yeah, love is thriving inside that two story house

He’s a Modern Astronomer

Verse 1

The seer predicted his course at birth 
His parents were always raising the bar  
As a young boy, he yearned to find his star 
He dreamed of navigating the Earth 
Learning the stars, earning a berth 

Chorus
He’s a modern astronomer 
Who’s ignoring his destiny 
He’s an avid world traveller  
Who’s always raising the anchor 
Pursuing his trajectory 
The one he was destined to see  

Verse 2
The seer predicted his course at birth 
His parents were always raising the bar  
He’s an old man now, he turns to face his star 
He’s tired of navigating the Earth 
Phoning the stars, knowing their worth 

Chorus
He’s a modern astronomer 
Who’s ignoring his destiny 
He’s an avid world traveller  
Who’s always raising the anchor 
Pursuing his trajectory 
The one he was destined to see  

Verse 3
’Tis life at sea that he’s come to despise 
He’s climbed every wall, no longer feels tall 
Longing for home now, he puts in the call 
His mother and father, are allies 
Out on the sea, that sun’s gonna rise 

Chorus
He’s a modern astronomer 
Who’s ignoring his destiny 
He’s an avid world traveller  
Who’s always raising the anchor 
Pursuing his trajectory 
The one he was destined to see
