To fill in my current "writer's block" I'm re working some old tunes I wrote years ago. This one came from 1987. I wrote it on a 12-string acoustic guitar.

Story behind the song

Contemplative thoughts of various kinds

Lyrics

Please don't bother me too long
I'm tryin to write a song
cos the feelings are so strong 
and words come out so wrong
(Doesn't matter much to me.  Never expected you to see)

Ooooooh  Ooooooh, Ooooooh  Ooooooh
Ooooooh  Ooooooh, Ooooooh  Ooooooh
Ooooooh  Ooooooh, Oooooooooh

Spoken words are hard to find
to make a lyric rhyme
But I've said them all before
And now you tell me
"Your's was the nicest of all".

Ooooooh  Ooooooh, Ooooh  Ooooooh Ooooooh
Ooooooh  Ooooooh, Ooooh  Ooooooh 

Now it's sad. I've been so blind
I let it fall behind
Let the words come much too fast
The feeling doesn't last
Was it only in a game?  I thought you felt the same
Thought of a night so long ago
The night you told me
Love was in season that night.

Ooooooh  Ooooooh, Ooooh  Ooooooh Ooooooh
Ooooooh  Ooooooh, Ooooh  Ooooooh 

Please don't bother me too long
I'm tryin to write a song

Please don't let your life go by
You have to learn to fly

And no matter how much it hurts don't let it show.
