New Song Written Today: On This Old Guitar

I wrote a new song today for all of us lonely souls on Valentine’s Day.

It’s another that I’ve recorded scruffily on my phone. But it has some charm for all of that.

It’s called on This Old Guitar.

Let me know what you think.

Lyrics

On this old guitar I could sing you a song
So I could pretend you are near
But this little fantasy strings me along
Cos I know that you’re never here
You’re never here in the morning time
You’re never here in the night
Whatever dreams that I conjure of you
They vanish to dust in the light

On this old guitar I could play you a tune
Imagining you by my side
But I’d still be lonely from midnight to noon
And craving for you deep inside
Craving for you when the moon is out
Craving for you in the day
Whatever hopes that I conjure of you
Oh they never bring you my way

You’re never here in the morning time
You’re never here in the night
Whatever dreams that I conjure of you
They vanish to dust in the light

On this old guitar I could write you some words
To tell you what I’m wishing for
And maybe I’d share them if ever I dared
And sing it out loud evermore
I’d sing it out loud when the skies were black
I’d sing it out loud in the sun
But whatever song I was singing for you
I know that you’d still never come

You’re never here in the morning time
You’re never here in the night
Whatever dreams that I conjure of you
They vanish to dust in the light

You’re never here in the morning time
You’re never here in the night
Whatever dreams that I conjure of you
They vanish to dust in the light

Whatever dreams that I conjure of you
They vanish to dust in the light
