When I got home I sat down at the computer ready to practice the scale system. Before I loaded the program I started strumming a simple G, D, C pattern. However, the way I was strumming it, and the timing of the beat, inspired me to set words to it.
I have never attempted song lyrics before, although I have written plenty of poetry. Here is my first attempt :
Turn My Mind on Bright
The sinking sun
Pink and gray
Throwing shadows
Cracks the Window Pane
Your faded picture
Your hair all black
Hanging crooked
Staring at my back
And Hey
The light in my eyes
Makin' me squint
Cursin' the sky
And Hey
You left me blue
Hangin' my head
Scrapin' my shoes
The little house
Yellow and white
The lights are all off
No one to fight
I'm watchin' that road
Empty in the night
Will you ever come back
Turn my mind on bright
And Hey
The light in my eyes
Makin' me squint
Cursin' the sky
And Hey
You left me blue
Hangin' my head
Scrapin' my shoes
