THANK YOU, DARREN WHITE FOR THE TWEAKS

F At these walls, I am staring Am They don't seem to be sharing C The way I feel G About you F In the night when I'm alone Am I reach for the silent phone C Just to tell you G How I feel Chorus: D E You don't know where I roam G Where I call home D You don't know D E You don't know where I belong G What makes me strong D You don't know F As I walk this path today Am I just sometimes need to say C I'm thinkin' always G Of you F Wonderful world this would be Am If we all could learn to see C Through the eyes G Of dreamers Chorus: D E You don't know where I roam G Where I call home D You don't know D E You don't know where I belong G What makes me strong D You don't know ~~~~~~~~~ Solo lead break for 16 Bars~ F At four grey walls, I stare Am When it gets too much to bear C Nothing matters G Without you F In the night I'm cryin' out Am More of a whisper than a shout C Wanting you with me G While I dream Chorus: D E You don't know where I roam G Where I call home D You don't know D E You don't know where I belong G What makes me strong D You don't know F It's not that I'm complaining Am Still, these memories remain C Of the past times G Spent with you F In the night when I'm alone Am I keep reachin' for the phone C Just to tell you G How I feel Chorus: D E You don't know where I roam G Where I call home D You don't know D E You don't know where I belong G What makes me strong D You don't know F In the night when I'm alone Am I keep reachin' for the phone C Just to tell you G sustain How I feel.

The lyrics are subject to change shortly! I'm happy with the music that accompanies them, but that's it! Thanks, Jo /|\

What's a Budgie? I am amazed Wolf! I have tried writing lyrics but just can't get the hang of it. What's the trick? Anyway, really enjoyed this. - Dean

Haha, it's short for budgerigar, it's my nickname! If you can write poetry then you can do lyrics! This one I did the lyrics first then put the music to them, but usually, I do the music first! Thanks, Dean /|\

Wonderful song, WW, took me a while to figure out what you were doing with the Letters. At first I thought it was an acrostic verse..
