Barry Seymour Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 (edited) EDIT: The song is released, along with a video. I took inspiration from @Lynn Wilson and put myself in there, for better or worse. Edited August 26, 2023 by Barry Seymour 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Seymour Posted August 18, 2023 Author Share Posted August 18, 2023 That's How It Goes (Blackcurrant Tea) (c) 2023 Barry Seymour I forget where I put the matchbook where I first wrote your name That was the day long ago when the spark turned to flame I vaguely remember when we tore the world in two (But now it) all runs together, all I remember is you (Don’t) know how I got here, I don’t know the name of this road My heart is an ember, my head is primed to explode The cool morning fog is so sweet in the street by my house But the blur in my eyes and my brain gives me worry and doubt Blackcurrant tea, a sugar or three, berries and grains for a start Tending the garden, walking the dog, quiet in my heart Fingers on strings, tingling things, the poetry comes and it goes Stars overhead, an unmade bed, that’s how it goes Breakers crash on the shore, it’s too rough to swim Currents under the water, they’ll suck you in This town is a ghost on a Tuesday, no one’s awake I’m starting to think that this might be a mistake That's how it goes, ups and downs, highs and lows No one knows, where it comes from or where it goes Near the end of a road, so long that I forget where it starts (At this) point in my life, it’s just songs for a trembling heart One foot in front of the other, day after day Don’t know where I am, where I’m going, or where I will stay Blackcurrant tea, a sugar or three, berries and grains for a start Writing a song, I’ll sing before long, I play my part Fingers on strings, silvery rings, enlightenment comes and it goes A voice in my head, the last thing she said, that’s how it goes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
