Wednesday to the World - Ukulele Original

This is an entry for Grumpy's Bring the Song Challenge.

I never know what a song is going to be about until I'm halfway through writing it. This one evolved into a conversation between two people. I'm not sure if it makes sense... but it's what came out. I hope you enjoy it & can maybe identify with it a bit.

Wednesday to the World

Sit & stare
you wanna know where my head has been
have I lost myself
or misplaced my light?

but when
when I try to speak
words get caught up in the air
they drift off
you don't really try

I cry darling...
it's Wednesday to the world
but here it feels like the end of time

Sweet, my sweet love
c'mon & lay your head right down
don't you want me to kiss it all away?

Made to dance
I wouldn't say that I gave up
but maybe I curled up inside

Chorus

Dawn comes so soon
there's a song upon the air
time to rearrange & look towards that light

Spring doesn't heal
the birds remind me of the past
their wings draw silver on the sky

Chorus

Blues, that's blues for one
can't help your lack of faith
when you've no faith that it can be done

still for what it's worth
gypsies don't say goodbye
& I'm not ready for you to go

Chorus
it's wednesday in your world
but me I feel like I'm out of time

I had one of these Wednesdays not too long ago...

Very well written, you capture the mood just right.

I'm celebrating your birthday by watching my backlog of your videos!

[adellethegreat]

Aww that last sentence was too sweet, Lonna. I heart you!

I'm glad/sad you get this one. Ya know when yr feeling bad & you almost don't wanna feel better- don't want anyone to cheer you up... that's what I was tryin to explain.

Beautiful original. Love the Mainland, I just ordered mine today.

[adellethegreat]

The Mainlands kick arse. What style did you get?

[gallier2]

So sweet. Love it. Simply wonderful.

That's exactly how this song came across, to me.

A lovely thing to realize about life is that it is ever changing. A bad time really doesn't last forever, even though at times it might seem like it will. It's good for people to share in those sad times. It certainly helps us to feel not so alone.

You are so wise, may it continue as you age!

Cheers :)

I got a glossy mahogany concert with silver tuners and black buttons. I am SO ready to upgrade from my starter ukulele ($35 ha ha).

Wonderful song baby. It gives me goose bums when you sing it.
