A song I penned...any good?
Alia
v1
He’s the weary traveler
Who wants a bite to eat
She’s the girl behind the counter
Tending to his needs
v2
He glances at the tag
Alia is her name
She clutches to her rag
He now knows why he came
(Chord progression)/lift)
But with noone and nowhere to call home
Nothing seems to satisfy the hunger in his soul
Chorus:
Nourish me until tommorow’s light
Nourish me because I’ve got to fight
All the demons of the daily grind
My soul is yearning for a different life
Oh Alia, save me with your smile
v3
The coffee’s poured with care
She never spills a drop
Its all so skilled and perfect
The pot is just a prop
(chord progression/lift)
Pretending to be happy in costume
Her aching heart is nearly empty as the room
Chorus:
Nourish me until tommorow’s light
Nourish me because I’ve got to fight
All the demons of the daily grind
My soul is yearning for a different life
Oh , Alia can I hold you for awhile?
(Musical interlude)
v4
He sets his spoon aside
His plate is almost bare
She leaves the check and tries
Not to notice his stare
(chord progression/lift)
“Ya think you could join me for a drink?”
His desperate cry for company makes her stop to think…
Chorus:
Nourish me until tommorow’s light
Nourish me because I’ve got to fight
All the demons of the daily grind
Theirs souls are yearning for a different life
Oh Alia, can we try to make it right? (or…”can two dazed share one night?”)
