Modern Classical piece of three movements in Amaj for piano, bass, guitar, orchestra.
I'm an engineer by necessity, writer by choice, American by the Grace of God, imported from the ROK by way of Japan and Western Europe.
Story behind the song
Love found, love lost, reflections, resolve, regrets.
Lyrics
Movement 1 wistful, hopeful
Movement 2 -- quiet, reflective
Verse1
Shades of gray, slivers of light
Shadows of day push back the night
Now that Ive lost you I try to forget
The love that we shared, my lifes regret
All consuming, it was just too much
Always dreaming of you, always missing your touch
I wasnt strong enough to hold you in close
I still want your love -- I need a double dose
Verse 2
We once were two that fit so well
The colors of the night were never pastel
Passion and fear can wear the same face
And if its desperation, theres just not enough grace
I want to reach out and touch you three thousand miles away
In matters of the heart I cannot disobey
My arms are only long enough to touch my sorrow
Wont you come back to me? Maybe tomorrow
Background Vocals (bass repeat, panned L/R with delay)
Tomorrow, tomorrow. Maybe tomorrow
Wont you come back to me? Maybe tomorrow
Verse 3 (sung over background, baritone)
Youre three thousand miles away but I still see your face
I still smell your hair, I still taste your kiss
If you come back to me Im sure well find a way
Well turn all our tomorrows into yesterday
Movement 3 resolved to fate
Verse 1 (ABCB)
Ill never find a girl like you
Ill never find a girl like you to hold
In winter winds and summer rains
Hand in hand as we grow old
Verse 2 (ABAB)
Ill never find a girl like you
Ill never find a girl like you to wed
A thousand years Ive searched for you
Not knowing if youre alive
Verse 3 (ABBA)
Ill never marry in this life
Ill never find a girl like you to love
Ill never kiss your lips again
Ill never take a girl like you to wife
