Hey guys. I haven't posted here in awhile, but I wanted to try to promote an album that I've been working on for some time. The songs were recorded by a couple of my friends and me and written and edited by me with the help of free editing software. Though the quality isn't ideal, I feel it turned out pretty well.
Below are the lyrics to the title track, "A Jigsaw Piece." The song itself (along with a few others from the album) can be found at http://soundcloud.com/keithsherburn. If you like the music, please "Like" my Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Keith-Sh ... 5136160393) and share with friends. Thanks a lot.
"A Jigsaw Piece"
I don't remember how I saw your face so clearly.
We were out of the city, a couple of miles from any house.
The evening was black as oil. Pulled off in the grass,
lights shone ahead, reflecting off the dry, brown leaves
tip-toeing across the road. The song on the radio was distorted,
the vocals garbled. Your eyes were wide and thoughtful.
Our vacations are in postcards.
The sun is setting in two dimensions.
Our vacations are in postcards,
and they don't have room for us there.
"No one will ever love you as much as I do right now."
I said, pulse quickening. Your lips curled upward slightly.
Did you respond? If so, I can't recall the words.
Your breasts heaved with every breath.
Your cheeks were eager to be touched.
Your fingers were a jigsaw piece that fit perfectly with mine:
a wispy cloud in my blue sky,
the dot on my i.
Our vacations are in postcards.
The waves are crashing on a cardboard shore.
Our vacations are in postcards,
and they don't have room for us there.
Headlights climaxed the hill on the road ahead--
two spotlights that had found their fugitives.
We were shaken from the naive daydream that we had shared,
but that moment felt more real and honest than anything since.
