As I've been playing ukulele, I've found myself writing a few songs.
Thought I'd better record this one while I remembered the melody. The lyrics were written a couple of weeks ago in response to a haiku shared by Naviar Records.
They go:
That memory is hollow, drowned with sorrow
it will never be the same again
My hope is clear that a breath of fresh air
might make it bouyant and appear again
At the end of the day reinvention is an option
and it's good to remember you can always walk away
Then new life will spring from the heart of the thing
it may grow legs and run or take root and remain
From this day forth it sets a new course
and I can't expect to find comfort in change
For there's freedom in destruction
life a phoenix will rise from the flame
