The Morning Light (RC)

Technically this is a song I wrote, but it sounds so poem-sy, I thought I would post it here. Picture it being sung by a woodland man with a Gaelic accent. That would be perfect.

Unfortunately (as I'm at work) I only have one verse up, though I'm actually not sure if I wrote another one, or not. Enjoy.

Verse:
A dewy path shines morning light upon the footprints of the night,
The wood was dark we had embarked to kill the loathing,
The conversation wills the last remaining scraps awaiting,
To leave in haste and find the grace of open skies escaping,

Chorus:
Why can't we see that we are beautiful?
Why can't we greet the still defeat of self and silently retreat,
Into the things we know are beautiful?
Show me the rest and let me rest upon this, yes upon this

Bridge:
Oh-Whoa-oh-whoa, oh-whoa-oh-oh-oh
Oh-Whoa-oh-whoa, oh-whoa-oh-oh-oh
Oh-Whoa-oh-whoa, oh-whoa-oh-oh-oh
Oh-Whoa-oh-whoa, oh-whoa-oh-oh-oh

Verse:
A dewy path shines morning light upon the footprints of the night,
The wood was dark we had embarked to kill the loathing,
The conversation wills the last remaining scraps awaiting,
To leave in haste and find the grace of open skies escaping,

Chorus:
Why can't we see that we are beautiful?
Why can't we greet the still defeat of self and silently retreat,
Into the things we know are beautiful?
Show me the rest and let me rest upon this, yes upon this

This is so great. I really love it. Did you also post this in Songwriting? And do you have a recording? I would love to hear it.

I especially love "why can't we see that we are beautiful?" The chorus I also love. I'm pretty much crazy about this piece.

I didn't post it songwriting, no. I haven't really put any pieces up there, and since I know you guys, I knew that I would respect and appreciate your feedback. There isn't a recording of it YET; I have vocals for it, but the instrumental is basically just one chord being strummed at a time. I don't even remember the chord progression. Hopefully, I'll have some time to work on it, but seeing as how school is starting again on Wednesday, and I'm working crazy hours, it might be a while. But thanks. I like it too. It's kind of unusual, but I like it.

Thanks. I think I've realized I didn't write a second verse, which is sad. Sometimes you just get in a groove and later on, you're afraid that if you add a second verse it won't be quite as good. Which is the predicament I find myself in. But I guess I'll have to try...sometime.
