"Away" (Original song, studio version)

Original song done inside (no birds this time lol) (Lyrics below). I've got an instrumental only track, that I've posed, with lyrics overdubbed. I'd like to get someone with a voice to sing this song (singing is not something I can do very well...).
So a colaboration would be kind of cool, my song & guitar, a fellow YouTuber's vocals, maybe another instrument. Isn't technology grand.... -Greg-

Lyrics: "Away"

Mommy cries, cause Daddy drinks,
And the more she cries, the further he sinks ...
Away.... Away.....
When I was young, I swore I'd never be,
Like them.... like them...
Now here I sit, with a bottle of wine,
And a bucket of beer, wondering how I got here...
Away.... so far away......

Mommy Dear... where has Daddy gone?
He hasn't tucked me in, for oh so long..
And why... late at nite,
When you think I'm asleep, do you cry?
The nite away...... Away.....

It just ain't fair, growing up like this,
My Sister and me, she's only three....
And I.......... I had to grow up so fast.
I'm not a kid anymore, one day I'll walk out that door...
And fly away..... so far away.......

I want to fly away from here....
Like a bird in the sky so clear.....
Wanna' leave my tears behind,
Break the ties that bind....
Asunder!
You'll hear the thunder....
From far away.... so far away......

Mommy cries, cause Daddy drinks,
And the more she cries, the further she sinks ...
Away.... so far away.....

I want to fly away.... away... away
Away.... so far away.... away....

Thx Patch, this song holds a lot of emotion for me. I have know good friends, who's families have broken up & the effects upon the children is pretty rough. So I thought it would be something to write a song from a child's point of view.

The song literally wrote itself over the course of two days. The early version I posted (with the birds in the background) was recorded right after I finished the last verse on a sunny afternoon.

Thx for the support pal!

5 stars for you!

[audiosoundzscape]

Thx Mary, I wrote that song over the course of two nice summer days. The "Far Away" hook just stuck in my head (and wouldn't "go away" lol).

Take Care ~Greg~
