(Writing) A New Song
(© by Ko-Do 2014)



I feel an urge to grab my six string
What it's good for I can't tell
My voice is rough whenever I sing
My left hand still won't work too well
But I don't care about perfection
Or if the first try might sound wrong
I've missed this feeling for a long time
The feel of writing a new song

Refrain
And then this song starts pouring out of me
Into the strings of my guitar
I take the words that are surrounding me
And fit them into chord and bar
I lose myself in worlds of harmonies
For maybe that's where I belong
And when I kind of wake up finally
I'm into writing a new song

Unconsciously I switched on my tape
And listening to it I can tell
Inside my head this something takes shape
This part of me still works quite well
And now I care about the details
I dub the parts where I played wrong
I've known this feeling for a long time
The feel of writing a new song

Refrain

I lose myself in worlds of harmonies
For maybe that's where I belong
And when I kind of wake up finally
I'm into singing my new song
