Here's my next song. This one was full of craft learning, especially on the lyric side and also choosing the vocal rhythm. It's an early demo of my performing but it captures the song.
Lyrics:
V1
Standing, edge of toes / reaching, back of the shelf.
An old forgotten paper / slowly falls to the floor.
Dust in the evening light / breath briefly holds inside
Clearing vision. Recognition/ Touching it, the years collapse
PC
Clock slowing. School’s closing. Final bell getting near.
Chorus
Dandelion dreams / kite-ribboned strings / whirling, feet off the ground
Dandelion dreams / kite-ribboned strings / na na-a
V2
Bicycles through rain soaked streets / double movies, second free
Fishing lines ‘til evening time / cutting home through the woods
Whispering secrets in the night / initials carved in the bark
Boxes packed truck outside / (music only)
PC
Clock slowing. School’s closing. Final bell getting near.
Chorus
Dandelion dreams / kite-ribboned strings / whirling, feet off the ground
Dandelion dreams / kite-ribboned strings / na na-a
Dandelion dreams / kite-ribboned strings / whirling, feet off the ground
Dandelion dreams / kite-ribboned strings / na na-a
Dandelion dreams / kite-ribboned strings / whirling, feet off the ground
Dandelion dreams / kite-ribboned strings / na na-a
