After the Sunset

I started writing songs about ten years ago. On occasion I will start singing a song in my head and will think, "Who is that?" A second later and I realize it is one of my songs. Maybe one from like 5 years ago. Case in point, this song never made it to the band. Further more, never even made it to my guitar. I never put music with it, I just always heard the music in my head. Even crazier, I never even wrote the song down. I have just hummed it in my head for several years. So I decided to post it today, not because it is a great song, but so I finally have a record of it. Because eventually, and if I am not careful, it will be lost and gone forever.

I hear it being a very good R&B kind of song. It needs piano, and back-up singers.

After the Sunset

Verse
They tried to warn me,
But I wouldn't listen.
I was searching for
Something missing.
And if it was her,
Then I will never be
In my heart and soul
Completely complete.

So for a short time,
And for a large price
I found myself
Lost in paradise.
And when it was over,
When it was over
A simple 'Thank you'
Was all I told her.

Chorus
Her eyes
Were as blue as the sky,
And in my better days,
They were my sunrise.

And though I know it's set
On the horizion,
In my mind
She will always live on.

And though I can not bring it back,
I'll never regret what we had.

Verse
Now I never said,
'Take back the memories,
Forget the laughter,
For all the misery.'
Because between the lines
Of all of these times,
I would never trade
What was once mine.

Chorus
Her eyes
Were as blue as the sky,
And in my better days
They were my sunrise.

And though I know it's set
On the horizion,
In my mind
She will always live on.

And though I can not bring it back,
I'll never forget what we had.

Bridge
She could not settle down,
Ran away, and turned around.
No one could know her
No one could own her.

Chorus
