...for all you song-writers. A collaboration with a fella named Trev Brown who played the mando and fiddle. I think the remainder were pushed through the Kurzweil. Neither of us liked the drums, so out they came.

Just Trying to Write a Song

He knew of a woman lived across the great water
He asked for the hand of her beautiful daughter
Sure, it's cheap and cheesy to go for that rhyme
But I'm just trying to write a song.

He'd met the girl first at the worst time of his life
She knew before him that she'd be his wife.
I wasn't there, so don't ask how I know
I'm just trying to write a song.


The days grew more gentle, the night grew more faint
Their lives were a canvas on which they would paint
And they had their struggles...just like that last line
Hey, I'm just trying to write a song.

Short Instrumental

Married on Tuesday with some circumstance
She smiled like a Sunday when he asked her to dance
Some days I know what that feels like, and some days I don't
Still I'm just trying to write a song.

Words will all fail me defining their joys
and run like a houseful of unruly boys.
I'm no shaman, no prophet, but I know what I dream
And I'm trying to write this song


Maybe one day the glow will fade and the bills will come due
Maybe they'll settle into grayness like most people do.
That's hard to imagine as I sit here right now,
Just trying to write a song

(Instrumental verse)

It isn't easy to capture the part
about the light in her eyes and the fire in his heart
'cause music's too weak and language too strong
when you're just trying to write a song

No profit, no shame in saying what I mean
But I'm just trying to write a song

I'm trying to write
Lord, let me write
I'm just trying to write a song.
