Quick rough recording of what Moker heard within 6 hrs of him reading my lyric... much fine-tuning to follow but the basic song is here... Moker is finishing a new studio then we'll polish this up in a few weeks.
Just a middle-aged guy who's been carrying song ideas around in his head for years and has decided to learn the craft and hopefully produce something decent eventually
Love Songs Lie
2009 Greg Swartzentruber/Moker Jarrett
I used to cry myself to sleep at night
Wondering just what I was doing wrong
Cuz every tune on my clock-radio
Seemed to be a sappy ol love song
Deep inside, I yearned
But all my love was unreturned
So pretty soon I learned
That love songs lie
They make it seem all wine and roses
Love songs lie
You cant believe the world they show us
When those warm feelings start
If youre smart youll guard your heart
Cuz, Ill tell you looking dead straight in your eye
Love songs lie
I once built my dreams on all those songs
Yeah I laid my heart out on the line
I tried my best to do what love songs say
Yet I got my heart broke every time
Deep inside, I yearned
But all my love was unreturned
So pretty soon I learned
That love songs lie
They make it seem all wine and roses
Love songs lie
You cant believe the world they show us
When those warm feelings start
If youre smart youll guard your heart
Cuz, Ill tell you looking dead straight in your eye
Love songs lie
B~
But then one day she came into my life
Broke down all those walls; became my wife
So now I proudly stand up tall and say
Love songs lie
Its so much more than wine and roses
Love songs lie
Much more to love than songs can show us
When those warm feelings flow
You never know how strong theyll grow
Cuz, Ill tell you looking dead straight in your eye
Love songs lie
