I guess you could describe the playing here as "stark"... or you could be honest & say that I suck ;p I'm learning... I just hit the month mark with my uke & what better way to practice chords than writing songs? If I didn't have all these words floatin around in my head maybe I could resist... but I'd still need to sing.

Dark Outside

I wasn't sleeping
I was up thinking
Wonderin if I'd ever be the same
It's been awhile since
I felt completeness
Started lookin forward to the rain

Do you remember
that gray September
you said we'd grow a garden when we're old?
Now I just wonder
Wait for the thunder
God knows that this this city gets so cold

It's dark outside... did you decide?
I don't have answers
Let's take our chances
One of these times it must be real

Hands stretch across sheets
Empty for three weeks
Times like these I wonder why I care
I promised to stay
Your eyes just looked 'way
Almost lost my faith in love right there

I watch the sun fall
Wait for your phone call
You know that I'm so tired of that scene
If you would lie here
Kiss me real nice dear
I'd finally understand what mercy means

It's dark outside... did you decide?
I don't have answers
Let's take our chances
One of these times it must be real
One of these times it must be love
