Here is a new version of a track I wrote last year.
Tuning is C G C G C D with Capo high up on 6th Fret. Song is in the key of F# alternating between major (verse & bridge) and minor (chorus).
Lyrics:
There’s a man I know
Who likes to hide behind
To tear the pages of the books he finds
He is a man
Of course a male disease
That spoils the ending of the lives we lead
As you read he will smile
At the thought of knowing he decides
See the man who hides
Between words so wise
He picks out the ones that are new
He will hide behind
Until he can find
A life to unbind
And ruin
I saw him once
When I moved a book
He ran away before a second look
Cursed his luck
He was seen
Terrified he’ll never tease and deceive
See the man who hides
Between words so wise
He picks out the ones that are new
He will wait behind
Until he can find
A life to unbind
And ruin
He hurries home
The pages they are thrown
Into the fire as he tries to warm alone
So alone
