FDP Forum / Tin Pan Alley - Songwriting / Post your unused lyrics

ninworks Contributing Member * Arizona Too Much GAS	Jan 10th, 2015 07:51 PM   Edit   Profile   I've been writing lots of lyrics lately. For some reason I seem to have found a lot to say. That's very strange for me. It's always been difficult for me to write, what I consider, COMPETENT lyrics. Once I get enough ideas to put something together I can usually craft it into something useable but, I have always been, primarily, a music guy. Being a wordsmith has never been one of my strengths. That being said, here's some lyrics that I think work. I just haven't written any music for them yet. I have a few of these in my archives. Something to use for future projects. The Color Of Love Verse Blue is the color of moonlight Blue is the ocean at noon Blue as I feel after midnight Blue as the sky in mid June Verse Green is the color of leaves Green is the lust of money Green is the envy of seeds Green as an old copper penny Chorus Shadows of sorrow and shades of delight Reflecting my feelings all through the night As sunlight appears shining down from above I cannot find the color of love Verse Red is the color of anger Red is what runs through my veins Red wears a warning of danger Red is a feeling of pain Bridge What can I learn from the blue in your eyes Is there love, is there hate, is there truth, or just lies Maybe there's only reflections of me And the wonder of life is all that I see Chorus Shadows of sorrow and shades of delight Reflecting my feelings all through the night As sunlight appears shining down from above I still cannot find the color of love Verse Black is the color of silence Black sees the absence of light Black resounds loudly with violence Black brings my soul to the fight Chorus Shadows of sorrow and shades of delight Reflecting my feelings all through the night As sunlight appears shining down from above I'll search till I find the color of love (This message was last edited by ninworks at 06:35 AM, Jan 11th, 2015)
Slimlefttown Canada	Jan 10th, 2015 07:57 PM   Edit   Profile   Good idea to indicate what you consider to be your verse, bridge and chorus. Almost looks like you're starting off with the chorus there. I'm won't be critiquing

Jan 12th, 2015 06:40 PM   Edit   Profile   It's a crime I tried everything that I could to make it work out good Everything that I knew to make it back up to you chorus I've laid it on the line, the whole world to see Its a crime ya,ya, what you've done to me The dream that we once knew The dream of me and you The dream that we once had has somehow turned bad chorus I've laid it on the line the whole world to see Its a crime oh ya how you've treated me Now everybody knew, just what you were up to Everyone could see, everyone but me Chorus You laid it on the line the whole world to see it's a crime oh ya, how you treated me (This message was last edited by scott-s at 01:19 PM, Jan 13th, 2015)
scott-s juneau ak. If you must smoke, please smoke salmon!	Feb 9th, 2015 11:41 AM   Edit   Profile   West Bound Left my home in Georgia , Left on a westbound train Ended up in Texas, the night of a driving rain Traveled on north to Denver, worked on the Santa Fe line When a westbound train came across the plain I left that place behind Chorus You know I am a drifter, yes am a travelin' man I've been North and south, east and west and back to the south again 2nd verse Now I caught that train the other day don't care much where I go I met a friend along the way, his name was Box car Joe We made some Hobo tea, and played some cards and sang a song or two We'll be a thousand miles away from here before this ride is through chorus-repeat 1st 3rd verse Now the city life is not for me,I get lost downtown But the country life's been hard on me I've worked my share of ground I've worked in Lumber camps and hardware stores and drove big rigs around When I hear that lonesome whistle blow, time to leave that town Chorus You know I am a rambler yes I'm a travelin' man, North and South East and West and back to the South again Yes I am a drifter, everywhere is were I've been, But I'll come back home someday and find my lost old friend
