Story behind the song
I have been working on this tune and arrangement for ages cause I wanted to do something special for Dawny, something quite different from our other songs, something upbeat and kinda dancy, I think I got it, mum was dancing around the sitting room to it yesterday, so I've done something right LOL
Thankx ma Dawny for letting me do this one, and thanks too for your patience xx
Lyrics
Walking on the Track
By Dawn Sinclair, Dawn Diamond, Jan 2008
V1
I haven't written anything for longer than a year
I can't remember roads I walked to get from there to here
I've burned so many bridges now, there is no turning back
I missed the train to Sanity
So I'm walking on the track
Chorus1
How can I choose my future
When the past is haunting me
Tomorrow seems too far away
When you chase Eternity
When do I find the strength to reach
For one bright guiding star
They say you have to look inside
But even that's too far
V2
There's a groove along my finger where I've held the pen too long
I would have written reams by now but words just come out wrong
I've burned so many candles (from both ends every time)
That I'm standing in a waxen pool
So I'm just counting time
V3
You know what I was searching for;you said it wasn't real
I closed my ears and walked away; I knew you couldn't feel
The way I felt entrapped by all that you could offer me
The truth was much too painful and my eyes too blind to see
Chorus2
In you I had my future
If I'd waited patiently
You would have been my guiding star
Towards Eternity
I have to find the strength to reach
Beyond the battle scar
And beg for your forgiveness
If you haven't gone too far
You would have been my guiding star
If you hadn’t gone too far…..
