about

This was written when Jim hit a dry patch in his own songwriting/record project, ( happens to us all, right?) and as our lyricist, I envisioned him going out looking for inspiration-Searching for a Song, by the river near our home.

lyrics

Intro: D
D
A guitar sits idle
D
A piano dusty
Bm
Voice a bit raspy
Bm
Fingers seem rusty
G
But somewhere

In the back of this
G
Overtaxed mind
D
Sits a song

D
So I walk to the river
D
Wide eyes scoping
Bm
The edge of the shore
Bm
Ears wide open
G
For clues to explore
G
‘Cause I know it’s out there
D
Just waiting for me to uncover

F#m
And hey, there it sits
G
Hiding in the sparkle
D
Of ripples hit random
A
By the sun
Bm
Somehow I know
G
That if I only go
Em
And meet it halfway
A
It could be the one




D
I finally found
Bm
A song of my own
G
Now I just have to coax it
D
To follow me home
F#m
Where life may not be easy
Bm
Or simple . . . or breezy
G
But together
G
Something special
A
Will be born

Chorus: G
And together we’ll dance
D
Encourage romance
G
To sweep away darkness
D
And add twinkle to eyes
G
Together we’ll comfort
F#m
Explain how we get it
G
And help chart a path
A
To new skies

Interlude: D Bm G A (2x)

Coda: Em
It’s amazing
Bm
How all that can happen
A
From just me and my song
