Jeanna Murphy: Music
Sunshine
Another demo track from 2005 at Rumblefish. One of my very few acoustic songs in a major key. It was and continues to be hard for me to write something happy sounding....I don't know what that is.
This song probably resulted from looking out the window and seeing it raining....again. Ah the life of the Northwest. It truly is a love/hate relationship.
Verse:
Sunshine feels far away
Will it shine on me today
Before the lights go out
I need to think about
What in this world will make me smile
What in this world can wait awhile
What do I need now
Verse 2:
Dear piano wake now
Time to create sound
When will the song arrive
When will I feel alive
Sitting in front of the black and white keys
Is where I find my sweet release
Of living my way
Bridge:
Around the room I spin and spin
Wanting someone to let me in
Why can’t now be my time
Why must I step back from the white line
Verse
This life I long for is beating me down
It’s hard to stay awake when no one’s around
No one could warn me of how this would go
No one could tell me ‘cause nobody knows
Where am I going, where do I go
Verse 3:
Wanting and needing
Wishing and praying
This has been my world
Since I was a little girl
Waiting for a sunnier day
Will I get my chance to stay
Out in the…
