Someone Else's Song   © L Dunn 2014

Verse
There was a time when leavin’
Never crossed her mind
But ties too loosely wrapped
Give way as they unwind
As smoke will rise into riptide skies
When love’s called out too soon
Leaving ashes scattered
Beneath that cold betrayer moon
Chorus
I know where love goes, after it’s gone
It breaks away, to steal a heart
In someone else’s song
Verse
It was closing time when we met
On a June night winding down
We’d both stepped outside for a smoke
She asked, was I new in town
I nodded yes, ‘but in days gone by
I used to call this home’
Then she took my hand said, ‘I’ll welcome you back
Unless you’d rather, be alone’
Chorus
Bridge I
June turned to September
Goodnights turned to goodbye
Her kisses like honey
Sweetened all the lies
Solo
Bridge II
Smoke will rise into riptide skies
When love’s called out too soon
Leaving ashes scattered
Beneath that cold betrayer moon
Chorus
