Too Busy for Me chorus I needed to know what in my heart I knew So I could decide what I needed to do It would rip me apart, but I had to see Where you might be, when you're too busy for me. You think that your step is soft in the night But you stumble around in lack of light With each muttered curse, my heartache gets worse You must think I'm both dumb and blind Your breath reeks of stale cigarettes and beer You hop around hoping that I don't hear So I pretend sleep and silently weep You've moved on and left me behind chorus Lipstick stains your shirt and a sweet perfume Thickens the air of this lonely bedroom You mutter a name, but it's not the same You once murmured into my ear Too many nights, I've wondered and worried Waiting for you, with you in no hurry To come home to me; you ached to be free I'm granting your wishes, my dear. chorus Last night I got dressed and just drove around Finally turned on the road into town Didn't get far before seeing your car In front of a sleazy motel I went home and packed up all of my clothes I had my dreams, but hey, that's how it goes You'll wake alone before knowing I'm gone But I'm getting out of this hell. chorus It is not my favorite genre... but when I write a song, it's inevitably country... I guess you can take the gal out of the country but.... well, you know the rest. *G* At any rate... this is an oldie that a few of you have read before... you have my profuse apologies. Mercifully, no one's had to listen to me sing it... I couldn't apologize enough for that amount of suffering! LOL |

This is awesome Ruth. Would love to hear it put to music. Hugs, Chris Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance. |

Enchantress: It's one of the ways my muse makes sure I appreciate uninterrupted sleep whenever I can get it! LOL Thank you so much!! Aleta: I'm so glad you enjoyed... thank you! PS: Maybe that's why my muse chooses country... she's definitely a tears in her beer kinda gal. *S* Thank you!!! Nightshade: Thank you so much, dear lady... I'm glad you liked! *S* Ratleader: Then this song has reason for existence... for even if it doesn't possess beauty, it's nudging you into making some with your guitar. *S* I wish I could hear! LOL Thank you so much!!! *S* Toerag: But I haven't been on pop-top duty for a while... you think I remember how? LOL If that duet ever happens, please let me know.... I'll pay good money to be there! *S* Thank you so much!!! *S* Sunshine: Tell you what... we'll listen to the guitars... that way you can keep smiling! LOL Ericc: You'd lose that bet... for I don't sing beautifully... at all! LOL I know some great singers, but osmosis isn't working... they keep their talent and I just keep admiring. *G* Thank you so very much! *S* |
