Song I Just Wrote

about

I wrote this song the same day that I recorded it, hence the title. It's very rare to have this happen. Usually, with an acoustic track, especially in times before everyone had studios at home, you would have to wait until you had access to recording equipment. Now I guess its pretty standard to record as soon as something is written but back then it wasn't. I still love this recording because it sounds so happy and I laugh at myself getting it wrong in the 3rd verse, which is lovely to hear as I had been very depressed in the months preceding this recording. Writing this song (in 3hours by the way, it was one of those gifts from the gods type of songs) made me feel that perhaps my music career was not entirely over : )

lyrics

SONG I JUST WROTE (c) 2006 Nadeah Miranda
Got me a prescription for perfect living

But I lost it on the breeze

So I ran down to the crossroads, winter stinging

And I tried my very best just to breathe



Now I know it's not the way

That it was meant to be

But right now I don't think I can see

Would you lend me your eyes for a little while

So I might remember how to smile?



Got me a friend named Peg
she taught me knitting

Gonna knit me a new man

And even though, I don't know his perfect fitting

Well I'm sure he'll understand



Now I know it's not the way

That it was meant to be

But right now I don't think I can see

Would you lend me your eyes for a little while

So I might remember how to smile?



Does everybody feel like this sometimes?

Where every word they say, sounds like recycled rhymes
?
Contrived and out of date, it's nothing new

But it's all I got, to say to you



I stare at the right side of my double bed

Books and medicines instead of you

And you know, yeah you know

Cannon balls hit hard when you're not sleeping

And time takes time it's true



Now I know it's not the way

That it was meant to be

But right now I don't think can see

So would you lend me your eyes for a little while

So I might remember how to be
