about

A song about the mystery of inspiration.

lyrics

I stay up most every night
wondering what i should write
Thoughts go racing through my mind
A harmony or a funky line

sometimes its a rhyming scheme
variations on a theme
maybe something some one said
bouncing ‘round inside my head

i wish i could tell you how i flow
my perfect recipe
where do i find the seeds to sow
joy and misery

sorry but i just don’t know
don’t ask me to explain
how these songs get in my brain
please forgive me but i just don’t know
it’s blessing and a curse
can u tell me which is worse

Staring at an empty page
i feel locked up inside a cage
alone i sit here in the dark
waiting for a little spark

nothing yet but i push through
then a flash out of the blue
its out of my control ‘
as i watch it all unfold

i wish i could tell you how i flow
but it just comes to me
how do i get those seeds to grow
its a mystery

got a pool of music bigger than the sea
and its level keeps on rising deep inside me.
like a mighty river it can not be reversed
if i don’t let it out it’s gonna burst

sorry but i just don’t know
don’t ask me to explain
how these songs get in my brain
please forgive me but i just don’t know
it’s blessing and a curse
can u tell me which is worse
