Lyrics
Songwriter?s Lament
2000
By Dusty Steinle
I can be manic or mopey or mean
Been goin' through moods like a pubescent teen
One minute I'm giddy, the next I'm down low
'Cause I'm a songwritin' cowboy with nothin' to show
Been up all night but not by choice
Through this deafening silence I can still hear this voice
It won't say where I'm going, just where I have been
It won't give me the answers, just this question again
Chorus:
How do I sing what I feel
When I've never felt this before
How do I write something real
When the words don't come easy anymore
It?s like having a dream where I finally found
The right thing to say yet I can?t make a sound
Now I?m hacking at chords that my fingers won?t play
When I look up from the ivory and it?s another day
Of thinking
Chorus
There's a tune in my heart that?s trying to come out
I already know what the verse is about
Still I choke on the lyrics and I fumble along
I can't find the right words to make it a song
So tell me
Chorus
Chorus
