A Graveside Flower - 11/06/23 02:21 PM
Mike LeBlanc sent me what he described as "another doom and gloom lyric but with the added beauty of a flower in it".
Apart from changing a couple of lines it's his lyric.
I chose the style because it had a Steve Earle sound to it, then I swapped some of the instruments.
BIAB tracks:
Bass 3119
Drums Pop modern groove sync, Tambourine Even 8ths
Fiddle 3152, 3157
Mandola 3155
Mandolin 3377
Guitar 1828 and a few touches of 801

I've learned to laugh through the pain
Only cry in the rain
On a wish and a prayer let my life not go to waste
I've learned to roll with the ages
As I turn my life's pages
While I am well aware I've reached the final stage
And as my life comes full circle, I close my eyes
My soul now possesses all the power
And onward to that kingdom I know of in the skies
And for you I'll leave behind a graveside flower
For you I'll leave behind a graveside flower
I've done the best that I could do
Maybe not all I needed to
My trials and tribulations now are done
I've found the light in the darkness
To shine when I felt hopeless
I've seen my revelation and my heart and soul are one
And as my life comes full circle I close my eyes
My soul now possesses all the power
And onward to that kingdom I know of in the skies
And for you I leave behind a graveside flower
For you I leave behind a graveside flower
