Story behind the song
I met Joyce Davis over at www.dmusic.com... i been a member there since 2005. She wrote the lyrics as a poem and had posted it in her blog. I saw the lyrics and read them and thought wow So I asked her if I may try to put music to the song. So I worked on this song for six months almost had a version of the song almost done then my computer died : ( the song was on it,,so I kept the original composition in my head~ and just last week this song was recorded in a couple takes. really hope you all like this song,, This is a song about animal abuse~ if that offends you then please do something about it to help save our animal friends. they need you~ : )
Lyrics
Before this gets to you
I choke and squint my way thru this
To quench my thirst, my hunger is
To be away from kicks and screams
And fences round my love I dream
To be back where the rain and snow
Was outside where the cold winds blow
And warm from where I’d look at it
my eyes wide with loves spirit
I don’t have much time now
Before this gets to you
There’s too much to endure
I don’t know how I’ll make it through
I wish I could get a message out
To name the hell my life’s about
So you could find and set me free
To live this dogs life given to me
Is there any way for you to try
To help me out before I die
I’m hot and thin and lost and i
Spend all my days alone and cry….
I don’t have much time now
Before this gets to you
There’s too much to endure
i don’t know if I’ll make it through
one breath left i’ll wait and see
