The Box

Liner Notes:

Tuning: DADGCD Capo +4

Another one take wonder. I added a bass because when the guitar slid up to the higher chord forms it sounded thin… so I suppose that could be a second take. smile Feedback on whether it’s needed?

I had debated about calling this Broken Little Things.

Lyrics:

When I was a boy
I built castles
from old boxes and blue tack

Camelot tall
proud walls so fair
it could withstand any attack

Turned to it’s side
it’s wings outstretched
it transformed and magically flew

Then it would heave
pitch up and down
When I painted on waves of blue

(chorus)
Where’s my box now?
I can’t seem to find my wings
All the landscape around
is choked with broken little things

A child can spend
an entire day
playing with a piece of a box

A boy can make
a whole new world
from a small pile of earth and rocks

I can’t seem to
fly any more
The box is lost in the trash

what do you do
When all seems lost
because of a monster called cash?
