oh lonely soul i hear you calling

quick write got lost on the bridge , work in progress of sorts , been up too long so... just wanted to get it out there

any and all crits welcome

rock on !!!



going through the rivers of my mind

with paddles of sorrow and regret

in search of an island I knew one time

where I lived a life I could accept



oh troubled soul I hear you calling

what is it you want me to do

it's the world outside that's falling

and I can feel the coldness too

oh troubled soul I hear you calling

what is it you want me to do

it's the world outside that's falling

I feel alone and broken too



standing on this mountain looking down

I realize I'm not the only one

so many others wear a thorny crown

and have giving to much blood



oh troubled soul I hear you calling

what is it you want me to do

it's the world outside that's falling

and I can feel the coldness too

oh troubled soul I hear you calling

what is it you want me to do

it's the world outside that's falling

I feel alone and broken too



going through the rivers of my mind

with paddles of sorrow and regret

in search of an island I knew one time

where I lived a life I could accept



oh troubled soul I hear you calling

what is it you want me to do

it's the world outside that's falling

and I can feel the coldness too

oh troubled soul I hear you calling

what is it you want me to do

it's the world outside that's falling

I feel alone and broken too

I feel alone and broken too

I can imagine this song to be played as a minor blues like 'Summertime'.

After reading Peter's post,I too can imagine a slow felt blues feel to these amazing lyrics.Great song!

The first 4 lines really hooked me!
