This me and my guitar. I'm kind of stumped and thought I would ask for song style and, or a simple instrument suggestion for this song from anybody who might be interested. It might be fun to see what direction some of you would take this song.

It is dedicated to my brother who suffers with Autism spectrum disorder (ADS).

Too Close To The Moon (2010)

Brother what you gonna do
When they really do come after you
Your hand print on the window pane
You paced that floor and wore it through

Do you remember a time when we were brothers
Do you remember the things we used to do
We thought we mighta got too close to the fire
But we musta’ been too close to the moon

There came a time when I couldn’t talk to you
And nobody seemed to know what was wrong with you
Paw called the law and tried to ease our pain
You were beat down and bloody when they were through

Do you remember the time you brought that stray dog home
Through country side you and that dog would roam
We worried about you getting’ too close to the fire
But it looks like you were too close to the moon

Now you carry on most days like a lunatic
And sometimes I just laugh at the thought of it
But at night I pray to god and science
That somehow they might pull you out of this

Do you remember a time when we were brothers
Do you remember the things we used to do
Maybe I got too close to the fire
But somehow you got too close to the moon
