Round 2

Working title: Grace

I'm a desperate man to suit my desperate cause, and everybody knows
Trying day and night to put these fears to rest, but they just wont go
I've been dancing round in circles holding close to my old sins
Building up my house of cards to watch it fall again
I need to find a hiding place
I need to feel your tender grace
There's a picture frame hanging on my wall, but he don't look like me
It reminds me when I thought I knew it all, innocent belief
I was 17 and proud of what I don't know
Now I'm Barely 23 and I feel so far from home
I need to find a hiding place
I need to feel your tender grace
I need to find a hiding place
I need to feel your tender grace

The Great Chuck Berry!

A couple of weeks ago my buddy Charlie and I sat down and wrote a song. We like it a lot, hope you do too.

Oh and his last name really is Berry, and he is a fantastic guitarist.

And I'll try and get a demo up soon.

Right now the working title is Renee.... I think

Hello girl, I know it's been a while
It must be strange to hear my voice on the line
Do you have somebody? do you spend your nights alone?
I've been sitting here for hours trying to dial the telephone

I wanna lay you down in the desert beneath this blanket of a sky
Far from the city lights and distraction we could lose ourselves tonight

Every day I get a little bit further away
But you keep walking through the back door of my mind
Renee, how I miss your loving arms
I guess you don't know what you've got until it's gone

I know girl, this will come as a surprise
But this fire inside me has been burning for quite some time
Is there room for redemption? is it too late to begin?
I wanna show you all the things I didn't have the nerve to show you then

I wanna fall into your ocean, let your beauty take me in
If I could hold you close I'd never let you go again

Every day I get a little bit further away
But you keep walking through the back door of my mind
Renee, how I miss your loving arms
I guess you don't know what you've got until it's gone

If you were here I'd be standing proud
If I could only say these words to you out loud

Every day I get a little bit further away
But you keep walking through the back door of my mind
Renee, how I miss your loving arms
I guess you don't know what you've got until it's gone
