Back to Me
Nov 29, 2007 hat box
I started this song a few weeks ago, it was mostly just a riff and some different tunes floating around my head. As a chorus melody started taking shape the phrase “run back to me” showed up. I hope to have a track cut by the weekend. If you live in Charlotte, I’ll be at the Americana this Saturday in Pineville playing in the NSAI lunch round from 11:30-2:30, and I’ll debut this song.
There’s a steppin’ stone in the middle of a stream
You been standin’ on
Water’s risin’ now it’s well above your feet
We both know it won’t be long till there’s
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to turn to
That haze behind you is smoke from bridges burned
Look back you’ll see I’m still within reach
When there’s nowhere to run - run back to me
Why’d you climb so high up in that tree?
What are you hiding from?
Did you lose at love, make a promise you can’t keep
Did your faith just go numb and there’s
CHORUS
Oohh – when life’s a broken road
Oohh – and the pieces get hard to hold – if there’s
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to turn to
That haze behind you is smoke from bridges burned
Look back you’ll see I’m still within reach
When there’s nowhere to run
Look back you’ll see I’m still within reach
When there’s nowhere to run - run back to me
