Tom Richey

The musician I sound most similar to is James Taylor, but Pink Floyd has had the most influence on my lyrics and music.

I got into music by listening to Pink Floyd, Billy Joel and other '60's and '70's people. I have been songwriting for 14 years and live in Jackson, TN (between Nashville and Memphis).

Lyrics

There’s a beautiful woman men would like to meet
But she’s one woman that you won’t find on the street
She’s got a sense of humor and she loves to hide
She’ll put you through hell before she visits every time

  Inspiration, you’re a cruel one
  What does it take to pin you down?
  Inspiration, source of creation
  Take hold of me right now

Many times I’ve called to her but she pays no mind
She only visits me in her own sweet time
But it doesn’t matter just how many times she comes
I’ve long since given up on knowing what she wants

  (chorus)

Sometimes she comes to me when I’m wide awake
Other times she plays it coy and visits in my sleep
Won’t you please come to me now I’ll do anything you  
 ask
This is one relationship that I want to last

  (chorus)
