Notes About The Poem

This is a song I wrote and recorded about thirty-five years ago on a four-track cassette deck in my bedroom, (I have improved a great deal since then), but it has stood up well over the years and will be re-worked for my upcoming album on a major label, (under my music moniker "Bahku"). It will also be released prior to that as a featured CD single. I hope you like it! (I did all the vocals, writing and production on this recording, and played all the instruments).

Chill Comin' On

(Intro)

(Verse 1)

Used to be
We had a one-of-a-kind love
A passion flame that burned so hot
Night-after-night
Without puttin' up a fight
You'd give it to me on the spot
Now you're tellin' me
You need a change of pace
And I can't even get to second base

(Verse 2)

I can tell
I've got no hold on you anymore
There's another person in your eyes
Don't try to say
I'm just gettin' in the way
I've had enough of your goodbyes
I never ever knew
What you were all about
Is this your way of coolin' out?

(Chorus 1)

There's a chill comin' on
And it's in your heart girl
Throw that icy stare
Do what you can to tear me apart

There's a chill - chill comin' on
An arctic breeze
This love is growin' old
Now you look at me so cold I freeze

(Bridge)

Oh there's such a chill
This love is growin' old ...

(Solo)

Ooh now I've gotta find
Another weather zone
While you find yourself all alone

(Chorus 2)

There's a chill comin' on
There's a winter wind
Cold front, cold back
What's the chance you'll let me in?

There's a chill - chill comin' on
An early frost ...
What good is being cold girl
If loneliness is what it costs?

(A Capella Break)

(Chorus 1)

There's a chill comin' on
And it's in your heart girl
Throw that icy stare
Do what you can to tear me apart

There's a chill - chill comin' on
An arctic breeze
This love is growin' old
Now you look at me so cold I freeze

(Chorus 2)

There's a chill comin' on
There's a winter wind
Cold front, cold back
What's the chance you'll let me in?

There's a chill - chill comin' on
An early frost ...
What good is being cold girl
If loneliness is what it costs?

(Chorus 1)

There's a chill comin' on
And it's in your heart girl
Throw that icy stare
Do what you can to tear me apart

There's a chill - chill comin' on
An arctic breeze
This love is growin' old
Now you look at me so cold I freeze

(Outro)

I freeze ...

There's a chill - chill comin' on
There's a chill - chill comin' on
There's a chill - chill comin' on

(Repeat Ad Nauseum)
