This song, it’s done, my gosh, I think the second verse took a year. I couldn’t force it. I’d just focus on another project and come back to it. It’s actually a pretty simple song. This is a rough draft. I have a very special someone coming over this weekend to lay down vocal tracks!!!! Omg, I can’t wait. It will sound more cohesive once the bass & drum tracks are laid and the distorted guitars thinned out a bit. But instrument arrangements aside. it’s done, done, done, I’m so relieved, let’s celebrate!!! Stay tuned for an evolved version soon………..Lyrics posted below.

I can hear your thoughts, I swear I can, of the things you want to do.
Little things like lean to touch my hand and maybe hold it too.
I can feel you tug at my belt to pull me closer in
I can feel your arms around my waist, your whisper on my skin.
But so many eyes are staring above crooked little smiles
Like they’ve never seen two people who walked down a rainbow aisle
I know of a place where we can be free
Oh, kisses on blankets by the sea
Lil’ bridge break thing
Key change: Cotton candy clouds dangle from a periwinkle sky
The ferry bounces on a sequin sea toward the rainbow side
Key changes back: Queens in dresses sing- and dance around a pool that smells like bleach
I will write our names- in a heart where the ocean meets the beach.
Long after the last grain of sand goes down the shower drain
And winter brings a policy of icy and dark change
I’ll dream of a place where we can be free
Oh kisses on blankets by the sea
I’ll dream of a place where we can be free
Oh Oh kisses on blankets by the sea (AFTER lil bridge thing, count 10 measures-which is 2 silent measures + 8 measures of guitar riff)
It’s so easy for most people to love, just to be
No broken ribs, no bloody nose, no fractured dignity
His dress is gold, his voice is sweet, his lashes glittery
It’s so easy for most people to love, just to be
Gin and tonic, your perfume, a pool that smells like bleach,
I’ll write our names inside a heart where ocean meets the beach
I know of a place where we can be free-Oh, kisses on blankets by the sea –
I know of a place where we can be free- Oh, kisses on blankets by the sea –
Oh Oh, kisses on blankets by the…blankets by the…blankets by the sea.
