I return to Steemit Open Mic after a one week hiatus - I missed y'all! This one is somewhat unusual for a Carl Nash song in that the majority of the song is in waltz time (3/4). I have only written a handful of waltzes. This is kind of an autobiographical song that I will leave open for interpretation. I hope it resonates with you.
As always I hope you visit the Steemit Open Mic main contest post and give it an upvote and resteem. Remember to spread your love around to the other amazing entrants, and please don't forget to give some love to @luzcypher and @pfunk as well for hosting and sponsoring such an awesome contest.
Back Up - lyrics
Well he kept to himself in his room with a window
Singing his songs to the sea
Dreaming won't wait for completion
Journeys don't stop at the end
Laughter springs out of confusion
Journeys don't end, they begin again
When he slowly emerged from his insect-like wrapper
and shook off his wings in the wind
Lord only knows what possessed him
He flew straight for the sun
Lord only knows what possessed him
He flew straight for the sun
Back, you back up to that wall, yes you back up to it
Back, you back up to that wall, yes you back up to it
Spit your gum out on the ground, now you're standing on it
That's a bad idea, don't you do it, a bad idea
Put your back into it, if you do it, you might as well try
Put your love into it, if you do it, you might as well try
