thought I'd be brave and share a song I'm working on. this is my first time sharing lyrics.
A GIFT OF TIME - music & lyrics by Sheila Carr
I know your face
it’s etched into my mind
a gift of time and space
destiny is waiting
fate is on the line
you're a photo on my wall
that keeps me up at night
I lie here waiting
caught between the lines
I see your coat on the kitchen chair
a ghost of the one that was always there
coffee stain on the counter
And the scent of you all around
But all the words that were left unsaid
pages in our book that were never read,
erased from the chapter
what might have been our ever after
and I can hardly catch my breath
the memories come flooding back
I'm drowning
it's imprinted on my soul
a scar that time won't heal
the hurt is still too real
your trail is going cold
it's a song i know by heart
and words I just can't shake
are causing me to break.
they're pulling me apart
we're running out of time
the rope is twisting and the curtain calls
my mind's made up but my heart still falls
into the pool of you
I'm going under
the sound of thunder
is deafening but I won't surrender
the undertow is strong but so am I
and the scent of you all around
pages in our book that were never read
We could have had our ever after
and as the light of you grows dim
thoughts of us come rushing in
I've been holding my breath too long

That gives me good chills. So well wrought!
Beautiful beyond words.
