To fill in my current "writer's block" I'm re working some old tunes I wrote years ago. This one came from 1987. I wrote it on a 12-string acoustic guitar.

Story behind the song
Contemplative thoughts of various kinds
Lyrics
Please don't bother me too long
I'm tryin to write a song
cos the feelings are so strong
and words come out so wrong
(Doesn't matter much to me. Never expected you to see)
Ooooooh Ooooooh, Ooooooh Ooooooh
Ooooooh Ooooooh, Ooooooh Ooooooh
Ooooooh Ooooooh, Oooooooooh
Spoken words are hard to find
to make a lyric rhyme
But I've said them all before
And now you tell me
"Your's was the nicest of all".
Ooooooh Ooooooh, Ooooh Ooooooh Ooooooh
Ooooooh Ooooooh, Ooooh Ooooooh
Now it's sad. I've been so blind
I let it fall behind
Let the words come much too fast
The feeling doesn't last
Was it only in a game? I thought you felt the same
Thought of a night so long ago
The night you told me
Love was in season that night.
Ooooooh Ooooooh, Ooooh Ooooooh Ooooooh
Ooooooh Ooooooh, Ooooh Ooooooh
Please don't bother me too long
I'm tryin to write a song
Please don't let your life go by
You have to learn to fly
And no matter how much it hurts don't let it show.
