My name is Mike Siegel. I'm an aspiring songwriter, and these tunes are worktapes for getting critiques on various bulletin boards. Feel free to listen and comment.
Balsam Mountain
I’d set out to climb to the top of tomorrow
With my face cooled by the breeze
But life was more than I could’ve seen
My feet slipped into sorrow
Far from Balsam Mountain
There were holes in my pockets
Bootstraps were too tight
Lost one glove
And the flashlight
I’d set out to climb to the top of tomorrow
With my face cooled by the breeze
But life was more than I could’ve seen
My feet slipped into sorrow
Far from Balsam Mountain
Felt like rocks in my throat
And sand in my eyes
My sides ached
Fin’ly I cried
Then I found a glimmer of faith
From a porchlight all aglow
Someone out there, so great
Might cherish this battered soul
I've set out to climb to the top of tomorrow
With my face cooled by the breeze
Though life is more than I could’ve seen
My feet've stepped out of sorrow
On to Balsam Mountain
On to Balsam Mountain
