Like Spectres - Joe Burton (original song)

Please excuse the harmonica playing.. I am still very much a beginner at this new instrument but I think I get a pretty nice sound out of it.

This song is probably somewhat on the long side and could perhaps do with shortening, but where I don't know.

When I look at you
It's like sunlight
And blue skies
And firesides
Its like knowing
Who I am
And snowing
And growing

And I wonder
How far we could go
And I wonder all the things I should now
About you

You smile at me
Zip up your jacket
Move your arm through mine
Lean your head on my shoulder
And its wonderful
This feeling
Of being here
Of being here with you

And I wonder
How far we could go
And are there
Still things I don't know
About you

We're old now
And tired
Our memories
Keep us alive
But love is
Still strong here
And leaves blow
Up toward the sky

Now moving
Like spectres
Headlong
Into the dark
And you're running
A bright light
And you're breathing
You're breathing so hard

And we wonder
how far we have come
And we think on
All the things that we've done

some songs cant be expressed like they are meant to without being 8 minutes like this one. just because it's long doesnt mean it needs shortening. keep it how it is it's perfect this way. great job.

ah, soothing.
