February's
Song
Desireign
As I was walking through a park; a girl was playing on her guitar
She sang so low you couldn’t hear her
So I just sat down in the grass; and when she noticed that I was there
She said no one usually ever listens
Desireign is my name, and all my songs they sound the same
All I want is to be a writer, but I can’t get past a pain
Cause I was born the only daughter of a heartbreak back in Maine
Where I was never really wanted, Always felt I was to blame
Now I’m out here on my own, the road and music are all I know
I thought I knew where I was going
I try to write to make some sense, but pain’s my only provenance
I sometimes wonder what it is I’m doing
Desireign is my name, all my songs still sound the same
I’d like to write with words of hope, but I can’t get past the pain
Maybe someday I’ll be that writer, maybe somewhere I’ll find a place
But until I have the answer, I’ll continue on my way
I wasn’t sure just what to say, you’ve got to see things a different way
Write the reverse of what you’re thinking
Sing about what you’d like to be, not how you feel but what you see
I know the words are there inside you
(Later in the Story)
It’s been a year since the time we met, that lonely girl I can’t forget
And sometimes still I sit and I wonder
Then on a page I saw her face, about a song called “Saving Days”
With these few lines about the writer
Desireign is my name, and all my dreams came true today
I always wanted to be a writer, then the words they finally came
I’d like to thank a boy I met in a park one lonely day
There he taught me how to see, though I don’t recall his name
Desireign is my name, and all my dreams came true today
I always wanted to be a writer, then the words they finally came
I’d like to thank the boy I met in a park one lonely day
There he taught me how to see, though I can’t recall his name
