#245 - New lyrics. When the fuck will I get new music?

[reileen]

Unusually simple and straightforward lyrics from moi, based on things I heard from Mommykins after I got into a fight with her at some point last week. I have melody and chords, but very little piano arrangement, as per the norm. These types of songs should be so easy to arrange for (see also: "Mirror"), but I hate everything that I play for it - and I can never remember anything good when I do.

Daughter Mine

daughter mine, I love you dear
always shall I be waiting here
I only want the best of the world
for you, my love, for you
my intentions are nothing less than true
oh, daughter mine

daughter mine, you've hurt me so
don't leave before I've let you go
such danger beyond the home
for you, my love, for you
I can't bear to think what you'll go through
oh, daughter mine

daughter mine, remember this
in my heart you'll always be missed
my life 'til now has been lived
for you, my love, for you
you'll always have me to come back to
I love you, daughter mine

13,564 words on NaNoWriMo. I was hoping to write more, since I actually managed to get a good chunk of words in prior to getting ready for class this morning(!), but when I got home I got preoccupied with futzing about on "Daughter Mine". Also, I'm freezing my ass (...feet?) off.
