Nothing Stays the Same

NOTHING STAYS THE SAME I feel…the tide roll in… As it crashes on the shore I’ve never felt so battered before I felt the tide roll in I see…the tide pull away… Like, it’s got somewhere to go Just where it goes…I’ll never know I see the tide pull away Chorus And, I know now…that sometimes, Everything must change And, I see now…more clearly That nothing stays the same All I wanted was…to find love Maybe…start a family Is that too much to ask? I’ll wait another day- get on my knees and pray That this misery too, will pass Your hand is on the door… I see…it’s time to leave Please give me another chance to breathe Your hand is on the door You never said goodbye… With so much left to say, I tried to say it anyway… You never said goodbye Chorus And, I know now…that sometimes, Everything must change And, I see now…more clearly That nothing stays the same All I wanted was…to find love Maybe…start a family Is that too much to ask? I’ll wait another day- get on my knees and pray That this misery too, will pass I feel…the tide roll in… As it crashes on the shore I’ve never felt so battered before I felt the tide roll in I see…the tide pull away… Like, it’s got somewhere to go Just where it goes…I’ll never know I see the tide pull away Chorus repeat and fade John Derek Hamilton October 16, 2018

You certainly know how to pen a lyric or two, John, that's for sure...I have never tried my hand at songwriting; I might just give it a go myself...if I can find a spare moment that is. All the very best! :) john

Thanks John for your kind visit to my humble ditty, yeah for me songwriting seems to be easier than poetry, so I give in to the line of least resistance more often. Sometimes when I see top quality writing like yours it moves me to try harder to push my limits in poetry, thanks for everything!
