I was only me
Verse
I don’t have a special talent
Outside my way with words.
I’ll die alone a great unknown
That no one’s ever heard.
A song that never found its voice
That’s waiting to be sung.
A steeple with a silver bell
That’s waiting to be rung.
Pre-chorus
Gathering dust
They turn to rust
Just a waste of time
Chorus
All these songs I’ve written
Footprints in the snow.
Never was somebody
Anybody knows.
There’re just words in passing.
Much the same as me.
Never was somebody.
I was only me.
Verse
I’ve no wish for fame or fortune.
I just want to be heard.
I’ll die alone a great unknown
Along with all my words.
A dream that found no fruition.
A seed that never grew.
These words these songs I have written.
Dreams that never came true.
Pre-chorus
Gathering dust
They turn to rust
Just a waste of time
Chorus
All these songs I’ve written
Footprints in the snow.
Never was somebody
Anybody knows.
There’re just words in passing.
Much the same as me.
Never was somebody.
I was only me.
Bridge
A whisper in the wind.
I’m the morning dew.
A whisper in the wind.
A man you once knew.
Pre-chorus
Gathering dust
They turn to rust
Just a waste of time
Chorus
All these songs I’ve written
Footprints in the snow.
Never was somebody
Anybody knows.
There’re just words in passing.
Much the same as me.
Never was somebody.
I was only me.

I don’t have a special talent Outside my way with words
I’ll die alone a great unknown That no one’s ever heard
A message that never found an ear, An old discarded truth
A steeple with a silver bell That rang once in your youth
Gathering dust They turn to rust Just a waste of time
All these songs I’ve written Footprints in the snow
Never was somebody Anybody knows
There’re just words in passing Much the same as me
Never was somebody, I was only me
I never wanted fame or fortune I just want to be heard
A simple timeless wisdom, rhythm guitar and words
A lost cause with no direction, Just a simple rhyme
These words and songs I've written, forgotten over time
A whisper in the wind, a melody for you
Like a long lost friend, A song you once knew 🙂

Would you mind if I post this over at The Songwriters' Forum - by Songwriters, for Songwriters for more feedback? Or, of course you could do it 🙂

Do you have a hollow body electric? If so try that. I've heard what you can do when you take time and it kicks ass. This is a really good lyric and you can pull it off in a big way. When you're satisfied post it anywhere you'd like and send me an mp3.

Lol... interesting choice. OK, you got it 🙂
