almost a year since i've written a complete song.
that is a long time....
a loooonnnnnggggg time.
several things have attributed to that. there were so many changes in this last year that were not only hard, but some were painful. not all. but some. that, and continually finding the balance between abraham and all my eternal projects was getting tricky. so songwriting went on the back burner.
but last night, abraham had applesauce. no big. unless your kid doesn't really have sugar! that little punk was so hyper until midnight. half desperate, half brain-fried, i hopped onto the keys and started dinking around. that must have been the potion to put things in motion (cheese sauce) cuz i kicked out a little diddy. i've been wanting to write a song for abe, but didn't seem to have the time or energy. i figured it'd come when it came and i didn't want to force it, or it'd sound really bad. which, i must confess, i did try twice. and it sounded really bad.
but i think i might have uncorked the flow. and i'm glad that the song that came first was a song for my son. he's worth it, i think.
ABRAHAM’S
LULLABY
it's time to go to sleep my darling
it's time to go to bed
it's time to go to sleep my darling
it's time to go to bed
rest little
boy
dreams will
find you
even heroes
need
to have
their sleep too
find your
way to that world
where your
heart is
there you
will be free to fly
so
goodnight my love
until
morning breaks
see your
adventure
in a
different place
