"Wild Beach Roses" lyrics

Wild Beach Roses     Nanci Hobson May 2010

 

 

I lie awake in the silver dawn

Eyes full of cobwebs from dreams I’ve spun

Like the morning fog that holds last night’s end

Just a breath, and you’re gone, and it’s today again….

 

Chorus:

so I’ll pick you wild beach roses today

Toss blood red petals high….high in the air

watch them fly…watch them ride yesterday’s winds

Let the waves make them bones again,

Let the ending begin.

 

I’ve half a mind…just to lie here now

There’s nobody left to recognize me now

I remember high tides running fast and strong

Then comes the outgoing…it takes it all…

It takes it all.

 

(chorus)

I could be your wild beach rose once again

Toss blood red petals high…high in the air,

Watch me fly…watch me ride yesterday’s wind

Then let the waves make me bones again,

Let the ending begin.

Let the waves make me bones again,

Let the ending begin.

 

About my song

Wrote this song a year ago….changed the lyrics because it seemed a bit gothic, depressing  It never clicked with the  new ‘acceptable mainstream’ lyrics.  Then, on New Year’s Day, I found a hard copy of the original lyrics.  I’d deleted them from my computer.  I understood why the new version never worked, these are the real lyrics for this music.  Glad I found them!
