Sun Fishing

So. This is a song i wrote. And. I dunno if it's ever gonna make it past the concpet-chords-singing-stage. But. I rather like it, and i figured it was time for a new post. So here yah go!

'Sun Fishing'

Saw an old man lying in the bottom of his boat
One hand on his fishing pole, the other on his throat
And as he looks up to the morning, stormy sky
He see's the sun shining down like the best thing in his life

He say's, "I'm alright today, I'm gonna be just fine."
And today could be the best day of the rest of your life
So come on on smile now you're gonna be just fine

Gotta let those tears fall down, wipe 'em off and cry

Well, saw a young man running through, running through the street
Flashlight between his hands, his heart, it's very weak
He sees you running down, running down the hill
You leap into him and your hearts begin to heal

She say's, "I'm alright today, we're gonna be just fine"
Cause bad things, they come and go, acceptance comes in time
And i know you're angry now, but you're gonna be just fine

Break your heart to pieces, just to see you cry

It's all right

Cause an old man came to me, said the sun is here to stay
Get out your dreamin' mind, just move into the fray
Cause it's gonna be alright today, it's gonna be just fine
And today's the tomorrow of the yesterday of your life

You say: "I'm alright today, i didn't even cry"
And if i break my heart to pieces, well maybe i'll just die
But i'm alright today! I'm gonna be just fine

Well the sun is out today, shining through the sky
Shining down, healing you, in the corners of your mind
Well i'm better now I'm gonna be just fine
Says the old man, sun fishing all the time

Sun fishing

All the time




And there yah go! See. It reads kinda disjointed, but it sounds alright! And. The basic idea behind this is basically a song about how the singer can't seem to hold on to the happiness he's found, and how he's always 'sun fishing'. I think at least in this song, the 'sun' translates literally to the happiness this guy just can't find, or can't hold on to.

And that's...that's about it!

And. Here's YOUR song!
