Away

Posted by admin in February 22nd, 2009

Just finished penning a song this afternoon that I’d started last month. It’s called Away, and is pretty much in standard country time. Like many songs I write, I started this one on the drive into work. I didn’t have my recorder with me that day, so I had to use the voice memo on my cellphone. Just found that little nugget today when I was erasing messages. Here are the words:

Away
I live in silence since the last time we met
Since you broke me in half with your words
A pain never rivaled, it came like a storm
And left me alone without calm

The taste of your fingers on my willing lips
You refused to kiss me, again
The shape of the moon with one star in tow
Dangled from heaven above

In the wake of the day when the birds sing out loud
And the sun touches down on mountains and shores
In the wake of the day, when the door’s swinging wide
And you left me to die,
Away,
Away

My heart was emptied, a dry river bed
A bud gone to seed in the wind
A love once aplenty with wonder and light
Is shadowed by words misconstrued

The sound of the soft rain on my windowsill
A memory, a lost souvenir
The shape of your body all tight against mine
My aspirations are set to expire

In the wake of the day when the birds sing out loud
And the sun touches down on mountains and shores
In the wake of the day, when the door’s swinging wide
And you left me to die,
Away,
Away

Spring rescues winter from a withering fate
You return to kiss me again

Marty,
My friend you give me way to much credit, but I appreciate you sharing your thoughts. Last night was incredible!! You are an amazing songwriter, performer, and person. The Eves clam would like to formally and offically adopt you. My parents were blown away. They connected with the music. I thought my mom was going to float away. You should continue the conversation with my dad. He is an exceptional person, as are you! Thank you so much for playing the fight song last night- bum, bum, bum. . .
I echo Laura- Everyone should have a house party with Marty. If you haven’t you are missing out.
Love ya brotha

No way man. I give credit where credit is due! You are an inspiration to all of us in NoBo! Thanks for representing! We couldn’t ask for better.

I would like your parents to adopt me. That’d be great. I wouldn’t even have to change my initials. Perfect! I loved talking with them both. It’s immediately apparent that you came from good stalk.

Thanks again dude!

Thanks for having me, Laura! Much appreciated. I’d probably pay you guys just to sit in that living room again. AMAZING! Thanks again!
