Why her prayers have not been answered.
Hey, thanks for stopping by. I'm just a guy who likes writing songs, and this is a place for me to put the songs I write for others to critique.
Story behind the song
This is my submission for the Year 3, Week 42 guitarnoise.com Sunday Song Writers group assignment. The lyrics for the chorus and 2nd verse I already had written more or less as is, the rest is new for the assignment.
Lyrics
You are the cry before man overboard goes under
You are the echo bouncing fruitless off the waves
You are the bubbles rising, ripples on the surface
Stuck at the line between ocean and sky
I am the ladder that reaches to heavens
I am the star that you wish upon at night
I am the lucky side of your broken wish bone
Stuck in your wind pipe as you're gasping for life
Let me be the one to die tonight
Let me be the one to stand out in the cold
You're frozen, light me on fire
Let me be the one to die, to die tonight
There was a time I said I'd love you forever
At least I promised that I'd love you for life
We both know I haven't loved you forever
But will you let me love you tonight
Let me be the one to die tonight
Let me be the one to stand out in the cold
You're frozen, light me on fire
Let me be the one to die, to die tonight
Could we but count the halting the cries
You breathed down on your knees each night
We know the number of the times I've made you die I've made you die
Let me be the one to die tonight
Let me be the one to stand out in the cold
You're frozen, light me on fire
Let me be the one to die, to die tonight
