Mon 24 November: Written and recorded for the 2014 NaSoAlMo solo album in a month challenge. Electric guitar, voice.
lyrics
Have to keep on going,
Rolling along, you only have to trust.
Like a river, flowing,
Fast as you may, as slow as you must.
Slowly wear the boulders down
Or get around them.
But it's OK to feel impatient and frustrated,
When it's real.
(repeat).
Did I dump my load along the way,
Or am I still full of it today?
New lamps for old.
The genie's out of the bottle so I'm told.
Why would falling leaves make me sad?
They're only old skin making way for new.
