"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!
