more song

here is another song i wrote this weekend – i think it either needs another verse or a bridge but nothing has come to me yet and it could be just this with lots of instrumentals to round it out (and some play on the chorus which is my favourite part of the song)… i will write more about the weekend later on – full of stuff both good and bad – i’m exhausted at the moment.

Music is a prayer

Banging on the bodhran
Stomping on the stage
We fiddle music into life
To the thump of the bass
Guitars sermonizing
The banjo twanging fine
Accordion gives us the lead
For a hoe-down tonight

Ch.
Movement is a prayer that
Rhymes right through us
That worships the sun-god
And makes us joyous
Movement is a prayer that
Quakes the earth beneath our feet
That dances in the forest clearing
Where the critters meet

Folks come to witness
To dance the whole night through
A hopped-up reverend’s paradise
A service you’re invited to
Riot on the two-step
Vocals getting higher
We shout ecstatic to the crowd
A drunken angel choir

Ch.
