Topic: Song

This song is dedicated to One of Our Girlies "Kath," whos passed over suddenly last Thursday.

I know we will all miss her so. Her Robust Laugh  still echoes in my head, when i showed Her this Canvas
one lunchtime, and said i was writing a song about him and the painting.   Her Reply " Can i be your Bridesmaid Helena, when you and him get Hitched"   Still makes me laugh to this day.

Dia Linn Kath, and rest a while. My love as always.

song
 
Canvas} {st: Helena Donovan 2005

G                                         C
How real are you or paint  disguised 
G                                         D
brushstrokes soft speckled   eyes 
                  G
Lashes that  sweep and wink 
      C         G                            D                  G
To  say,   good to see you   here again   day 


G                                       C
Your lips create a magic  grin 
        G                                          D
That shows the joker so deep   within 
                   G                          C
The artist   here knew what to  do 
G              D                        G
He paint  ed the depth of   you. 

chorus
C                                  G
You capture me every   time 
D                                    G
Eating lunch with you, I  dine 
C                                         G
Inspiring me with childlike   face 
D                                       G
Holding my thoughts soft   embrace. 



G                                              C
I think your funny have quirky  ways 
                 G                         D
Be  guiling smile that softly   says 
             G                           C
Come   inside my painted  frame 
G               D          G
Your compa ny I need.   


Chorus 2
C                                         G
Id says you kiss with hones  ty 
D                                 G
Soft sweet and tender ly   
C                                  G
Its me and you again   today 
D                                             G
Muted speech from across a  space 


G                                           C
Lunch break over I wink at  you 
              G                                 D
See you sigh, say please don’t  leave 
              G                       C
I blow a  kiss, on you it  lands 
G                            D         G
Caught inside the  artist  Hands. 
                   D                           G
Yes, you’re   real in a painted   land.

Lena
I just caught this before I logged off.
Another fine piece of poetry in a song.
I'm sure your Girlie friend would have been pleased to have this song dedicated to her memory.

Re: Song

Hi Helena,

How gifted you are to be able to write down such sentiments and memories with so much feeling and talent.

I must ask; do you begin your songs as poems, or do they come to you as songs? as with "Broken Bones Bootlegger", this could fall either side of the fence.

It's a lovely piece of writing.

All my sympathies for your loss

Phill

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Re: Song

Thank You all for your Kind words.

I have been writing for years Phil.. Some years ago some musician friends said"

They could be musical poetry? Sometimes they do come with melody.  I just love writing, and reading

everyone elses work here. I get a great buzz in the writing section.

Your work on Broken Bones is splendid.. Wish i  had the expertise to achieve this.

I have asked  another expert here, "Roger Guppy" to post it to FOC for me. I hope to also hear

it on Your Myspace.

Thank You All.

Old Doll.

Re: Song

Helena,

My condolences on the sudden and unexpected loss of your very good friend.

This is a wonderful tribute to her memory. You have a knack of noting the ordinary, the mundane, and then expressing it with great feeling and emotion.

Roger
