This was just a little bluesy-ish song I wrote one morning and decided to enter in openmic. Week 102. Didn't do very well as far as views and such, I think people are not so into bluesy serena.. but I still enjoyed playing it.
That is my cat-son, Twinkie, in the background wandering around and trying to find a place to chill. I think I didn't even realize that he was back there.
You will notice a sock placed over the sound hole of my guitar. I was having just a really bad echo type of grumbly growl coming out of it when I played that day for some reason and it was annoying me. Putting the sock over it helped, so ... that is why I did that even though it looks wildly stupid.
Lyrics:
I found a piece of the moon in my shoe.
I took it out and babe, I thought of you.
I need a drink, I wanna cry,
but here I sit, three shades of dry
while you have gone away to rot and die.
You have gone away to rot and die.
In another place and time, well maybe,
maybe you'd have saved me, baby, maybe.
Maybe I'd have saved you too,
or maybe we'd have rotted through..
but you forfeited the time we had to try
and now you've gone away to rot and die.
This house is burning down and I can't move...
and through this smoke and haze, I think of you.
The floorboards quake beneath my feet
the gates of Hell are calling me...
Now, both of us will rot away and die.
Why was it so hard for you to try?
If only you'd have rescued me tonight,
maybe we'd have flown into the light.
Shall I rise or shall I fall?
I'll hate if you I die alone,
I don't wanna die here all alone.
Why'd you have to leave me here alone?
The birds swoop down and whisper to me now.
They're circling me, they're angry 'cause they know.
They know I've got their precious moon,
I'm saving it to share with you.
I'll keep it safely down here in my shoe,
as I sit here in this house and dream of you.
I'll sit here in this house,
and I'll dream of you.
