I want to be alone tonight
Don’t want to be at home tonight
I think I’ll walk around
Follow every sound
I just can’t believe the things I see
I could never deny
With a gift for the wrong reply
You have to think all day
Of what you’re going to say
But you’ll never get the chance
I’m not looking for something that isn’t there.
I’m not looking for something that isn’t there.
Not in the quiet of the light
Or the movement in the night.
Didn’t see when it began
Couldn’t tell you where I am
I’ve gone so many miles
Heard something all the while
And I know it wasn’t you or me.

Great! It is an older song of mine but I only have a very old recording of it that is now so great. I really like it so I am glad to hear you understand what I was trying to say. Now that I have a bit more time on my hands I might bring this out of the closet and do a new recording of it. I have so many half-finished projects.

Well thank you so much! That is good to know. Eventually I will record this song and post here. Not very commercial, but that is not really my goal. Your blog is very creative, open and sincere. Quite refreshing. And you love to sing…. bonus!

Awesome well I’ll await the song! Thank you that is very kind of you to say. I enjoy writing but I used to always put it off because it would lead me to have to explore my innermost thoughts and feelings, which I pushed away .So it’s great to hear feedback that my writing is open and refreshing- what a compliment! And yes I love singing and music. Who knows maybe I’ll perform a song and post it on here someday also 🙂 thanks for stopping by 🙂

Very cool. You are more than welcome. From an old guy, I feel it is difficult to explore sometimes but then you don’t you get caught off guard when you respond to things in ways you can’t control and don’t know why you reacted the way you did. I try to explore now, as you are doing, and fix things as I go. Easy to say, I know. I also look forward to your song post LOL!
