7 in 7, Day Five: “Another Chance”
Sometimes it all goes awry. I love short little songs where the music feels happy but the lyrics are sad. There’s a certain naivety about that that I like, and this character feels kind of like a poor sap to me. Quick demo version.
In the dog days of August
When the sun it stays up late
It tarries for a minute longer
Before it makes its great escape
I look back on my decisions
And all the things I should have said
If it’s to you a disappointment
Know that I meant the opposite
And I hope we meet again…
But for now goodnight
Goodnight and pray the morning comes so fast
For now goodnight
Tomorrow is another chance
You wore those earrings of silver
Two tiny owls upon your ears
And if I regret my lack of wisdom
Those two haunting birds have made it clear
And I hope we meet again…
But if not goodnight
Goodnight and I will pray this soon makes sense
But if not goodnight (definitely should be “But if not goodbye” instead!)
Tomorrow is another chance
Tomorrow is another chance
