about

I wrote this little diddy about a girl if it wasn't obvious. Don't chase around a person who keeps running, you'll get hit by a car or something. (that sounded more poetic in my head.)

lyrics

Capo on 1st
Chords: Am, F, C, G
(Am Am F—, C C G—)

I’m alone now, I’m on my own
And I know now, how much I’ve grown
And I realize, how i must’ve sound-ed
When I told you, that I loved you.

A lost puppy, in the wil-der-ness
Running around the trees, fake hap-i-ness
No where to go, end up all alone
See a ball, glistening like a stone

Through the trees, I’ll trail you
Down the stream, I’ll chase you
I’ll follow you, wherever you go
Through the fields, past melting snow

I stop for a while, to catch my breath
Under the tree, in the shade
The hot sun above me rolls into view
on the horizon.
Dusk rolls on, like a cloud of dust
Smothers my vision, my hearing I’ll trust.

Where’d you go, my friend.
Where’d you go.
Where’d you go, my friend.
Where’d you go.

A sound behind me, is it you
I turn around, I know its true
I see you there, rolling away.
Come on ball, please just stay.

I’m chasing you, hot on your trail
Exited now, I exhale.
Through the field, near the home.
Towards the road, here we go.
The other side, you wait

Halfway across, I turn to find.
Two bright lights, on a ride.
I stay still, mesmerized.
Smothered vision, now revived,
before cutting to black.

Where’d you go, my friend.
Where’d you go.
Where’d you go, my friend.
Where’d you go.

You’re alone now, you’re on your own
On the other side, of the road. (Am ring out)
