Sam sent us words and a picture with a challenge: produce a song to match this style (or not) using whatever comes to mind or stirs us or whatever. Homework. And I though school was over...
Lyrics
we brought christmas back to Arlignton
we lit a candle and i watched the light bounce of mom's hair
she brought daddy back in a photograph
of all the family trimming the tree and i was pulling his ears
i remember a time before.....
i planted an evergreen above him while mom just cried
daddy daddy will you help it grow and give it light you once had
i remember a time before christmas with painted rabbits playing on the walls
(la la la da da la la)
the rain pours down on our umbrellas,
plastic galouches and thick woolen socks, wont push the chill from my bones
and mist that collects in the air is like static pushing radio signals along
weighing down the air so that eventually everything falls in waves
and my memories are collages of pillow fights and candy bars
words drifting down through the hall
and love
love is the amber that keeps my memories vivid
and sorrow
sorrow is the trumpet that raises love up from bed in the morning
