a song

Post: # 14341Post putty »

i've never written a song before. a first attempt

Pull of the Pines

Elizabeth felt the pull of the pines
taking life one step at a time
dark thoughts hang in the back of her mind
the worst is yet to come

The day she came, she changed her name
Crossed the line, said goodbye to her past
Joseph was a leader of a pagan clan
Not sure if he's a god or a man

Ohhhh, the pull of the pines
ohhhh, one step at a time
Elizabeth felt the pull of the pines
taking life one step at a time

Under the spell of her Mother
a touch so strong and pure
her life was simple again
the great pines gave the cure

and another try

Please Be Kind To Me

I don't know if this is right to ask
I don't know how you'll react
These folks in line can probably hear us
If you'll let me, I'll just spit it out

Please be kind to me
Please be kind to me
Please be kind to me
Please be kind to me

Social graces are not my best attribute
This will no doubt sound strange or insane
I don't know, I mean, hmmmm hmmmm hmmmmmmmm
I'll just go ahead and say what I can

Please be kind to me
Please be kind to me
Please be kind to me
Please be kind to me

Even though this is all I know of you
I think about you all of the time
I wonder how you would answer this question
Whatever you're thinking, please make it kind

Please be kind to me
Please be kind to me
Please be kind to me
Please be kind to me

great timing for me to read this now. i just got off the phone with an old, old friend of mine who is now a fire fighter. he has grown alot in the past years, with kids and almost a whole new life now. i was just feeling so much inspiration from him and his story and then to come here and read your words of pull of pines and somehow it just fit so perfectly. thanks putty. i feel a real fire set under me to get the things done i really need to now in my life and your words are a great reinforcement without even knowing.

hey thanks. i actually rewrote that song the other day. here's the newer version.

Josephine felt the pull of the pines
Can I take this horse and go for a ride
dark thoughts hang in the back of her mind
betraying my place, betraying my life

drawn to the woods, the soul of the land
abandon the ride, a shrine meant for man
determined to leave for just a short while
I go but don't quite know why

She came to the heart of her Mother unknown
her blood pouring into a spring
thoughts fell apart as she joined with the land
left behind a life cold and mean

But as the cold life touched her fingers
the dream began to fade
the light disappeared
and the beast known as fear
took away all the thoughts of the day

If that memory lingers
I'd be tortured by it's truth
My life is a battle
but I'll give my heart to you

the light disappeared
and the beast known as fear
took away all the thoughts of the day

another song. no title yet.

I woke this year on your back porch
I think this year that I am yours
Grits under eggs over easy
Paul Newman purring in my coffee
Thank you for these thoughts I have

My crush for you is still brand new
I think of women, I think of you
looking in, it's called obsession
looking out, it's appreciation
Thank you for these thoughts I have

The words I say are mandatory
meant for me as much for you
don't go running for the door way
I f you do, I'll have these blues,
and lose the thoughts I have of you
