Topic: "Forever Clear"
Need ideas on how to 'finish' this ditty . . . somehow, it just doesn't feel 'done' yet but I can't seem to find the direction for a last verse or two. Help please -
Forever ClearJames McCormick 1/13/2007
In 3/4 time, An Existential Waltz
A-[C]lone in a [Em]field I [Dm]ponder my [G]place
[G7]Oh [C]reasons for [Am]being hor-[Dm]izons and [G]space
[G7]The [F]starlight and [G]crickets [F]helped me per-[G]ceive
Ad-[F]ventures I've [G]been [F]blessed to re-[G]ceive
The [C]harsh light of [F]day [C]shows what is [G]near
But [C]darkness [F]makes [G]forever [C]clear . . . [G] . . .
A-[C]lone I [Em]stood on the [Dm]edge of the [G]sky
[G7] . . . . [C]Awestruck [Am]dizzy [Dm]tears in my [G]eye
[G7]Each [F]breath [G]lightning [F]dazzle my [G]soul
[F]Heartbeat [G]thunder [F]in me ex-[G]plodes
The [C]harsh light of [F]day [C]shows what is [G]near
But [C]darkness [F]makes [G]forever [C]clear . . . . [G] . . .
I [C]don't know ex-[Em]actly how [Dm]long I was [G]there
[G7]It [C]may have been [Am]seconds an [Dm]hour a [G]year
[G7]Sere-[F]naded by [G]crickets a-[F]wash in star-[G]light
A-[F]live in the [G]moment [F]one with the [G]night
The [C]harsh light of [F]day [C]shows what is [G]near
But [C]darkness [F]makes [G]forever [C]clear . . . . [G] . . .
The [C]soil my [Em]bones the [Dm]stars the [G]rain
[G7]Es-[C]sential in-[Am]gredients [Dm]all just the [G]same
[G7]From [F]cosmic col-[G]lisions [F]entropy [G]rust
Just [F]ashes to [G]ashes and [F]dust into [G]dust
The [C]harsh light of [F]day [C]shows what is [G]near
But [C]darkness [F]makes [G]forever [C]clear.
