"8 Bars of Lonely"
Words & Music by Tom Sperrazzo 2024
I plan to write of torment in my heart
Instead of pleasures;
A kind of fight to test my art
With so few measures.
This enigma trade confounds,
Restrains the thoughts and sounds;
I trust my chosen words reveal
The truth and core of how I feel.
8 BARS OF LONELY--
Packed tightly in eight by me;
I hoped this chart would describe my heart;
I'm gonna play it in C.
And from the tired list of words
That paint my world in gray-tone;
I pick them brick by brick
And hope they sing of love flown.
I know the words I wrote
Will fade away with the final note;
Will the crowd be brought along
As the singer sings this song?
8 BARS OF LONELY--
Baked lyrical recipe;
I hoped this chart would reveal my heart;
Please play it in C.
