Canon in E♭ minor Six flats and an open G string I can't un-hear your melody, never learned to sing in harmony a one-note misfit in love from afar. And this ice storm swirls around me as this snow sifts over my thoughts drifts until I dream you awake at the dawn of aches and birdsong And your sea rolls over my angst as I walk through the burning paths of this hurting-eye green prairie aware that all ends yet this love shall last. And this ice storm swirls around me as this snow sifts over my thoughts drifts until I dream you awake at the dawn of aches and birdsong © Kåre Enga [177.278] (4.november.2020) I'd love to write my own lyrics using the structure used by Maroon 5. Lyrics to Memories (edited): R1: Here's to the ones that we got 7 Cheers to the wish you were here, but you're not 7,3 'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories 9 Of everything we've been through 7 Toast to the ones here today 7 Toast to the ones that we lost on the way 10 'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories 9 And the memories bring back, memories bring back you 6,6 R2a: There's a time that I remember, when I did not know no pain 15 When I believed in forever, and everything would stay the same 15 Now my heart feel like December when somebody say your name 15 'Cause I can't reach out to call you, but I know I will one day, yeah 15 R3: Everybody hurts sometimes 7 Everybody hurts someday, ayy ayy 7,2 But everything gon' be alright 9 Go and raise a glass and say, ayy 7,1 R1 R2b There's a time that I remember when I never felt so lost When I felt all of the hatred was too powerful to stop (ooh, yeah) Now my heart feel like an ember and it's lighting up the dark I'll carry these torches for ya that you know I'll never drop, yeah R3 R1 |
