Song15 - All I Want

This is my last song for FAWM this year, which makes 15 - one better than last year. I'm glad it's over because my throat is shot!

I had wanted to write a song for my wife, as I had wanted to do last year as well, but had so far failed to do so. Some things are too intensely personal to frame into words easily. I had pretty much given up on it for this year as well, when this song came along.

It is made up of 4 seperate pieces, some old and some new, that when I arranged them, seemed to flow. As it took shape, words started coming for it, even though I wasn't sure where it was going.

The chorus lyrics are the only ones I'm really attached to, the rest were "fawmed".

So, My Love, this is for you.

LYRICS

All I Want

Two hearts beating
that sound as one
words are many
love sees none
my pain is yours
your tears are mine
love transcends
the depths of time

I could go out
do mighty deeds
shake the heavens
to its knees

I could shout out
across the earth
scream my message
for all I'm worth

But all I want
is to be right here with you

arranged in stillness
in a life we share
don't need to see you
to know you're there
a few behind us
a lot to go
it all gets sweeter
each day we grow
