"Desert Highway" (Old song #2)

Posted: Tue Jul 12, 2005 12:46 am

Hey, hello, ......t's goin' on?,

If anybody here ever gets very lonely, you may be able to relate to this one. It's called "Desert Highway", and again this is an old song I wrote. I wrote it around three to three and a half years ago, because I felt lonely (obvious). However, when I first wrote it, I didn't complete it, so about a year ago I decided to complete it, with some minor revision, and any alterations I thought were necessary. Out of all the song lyrics that I've penned, This is one of my favorites, because it has a sad sound, but it's not overly-depressing, because it sounds moderately "beautiful", as said by some listeners, and I didn't know some of them. I've always thought of this one as a song that would only be acoustic, even if recorded someday. But this is where the song starts...!

"Desert Highway"

Driving down a desert highway...
-the longest highway, that the world has ever seen.
No one else is going my way...
Loneliness is, my passenger beside me,

(Chorus):
and I cry...
lonely tears.
I die... each... day...
Save me..., please.
I'm fading... away.

Driving, still, this desolate highway...
A stretch of roadway lies ahead that brings more pain.
I see a road sign, reading, "Wrong way."
My passenger laughs, scarring my brain with his name.

(Chorus)

(Interlude- to be comprised, hopefully)

(Bridge, to end of song):
Driving down a desert highway...
I'm sick of driving.

So I cry,
and close my eyes.
I'll prepare to die,
unless I'm to be saved.
A sigh...
I sigh......

Fading into the sun (sung 4 times)

I'm fading...
away, away, away, a...way.

I hope you guys enjoyed this one. It's pretty strange. If you've already read the sonnet that I wrote, and just found again recently, you'll know I've been through some bad times. That is why I think it's strange, that I can feel so at ease, but still feel the exact same loneliness that this song was inspired by. I'm just stating it's strange; I am not hoping for pity. -Honest.

Cheers, and a smile, to All!

Cheers RiCterMan!!!!

I'm getting behind on my posts!!! LOL (I've been workign on some new features behind the scenes... hope have them done soon)

I really like these lyrics. There are several lines that stand out to me...

...Loneliness is, my passenger beside me,

and

...My passenger laughs, scarring my brain with his name.

I like little quirky lyrics like scarring my brain with his name (and the rhyme within the rhyme)

I'll try and read the rest by this weekend!!!!

Hey Ron,

There's no big rush, though I thank you for your interest in my lyrics. The next time you check out one of my posts, whenever you get the chance, I'd suggest looking at "R.G.B. Panoramic", before anything else. I really enjoy reading and singing this one, and it's got some interesting content, within many of the words (I think). Thanks much, and more! Also, good luck with those features. I'll give a look at whatever is to come, once you're done making it happen. Cheers!
