Okay, here's mine.

Good Monday Mornings

Our good lovin' Sundays
Made good morning Mondays
But that won't happen no more.
Now I'm stuck here on Tuesday
Each day is a blues day
Since you walked out of my door.

I called in a sick day
It's cold and it's rainy
There's nothing on TV that's good.
I'm not even hungry
My tea has gone tepid
The toast is as black as my mood.

(Chorus)
Stop in at church
A walk in the park
Dinner for two
A kiss in the dark
Our good lovin' Sundays
Always made good Monday mornings

The tears streaming down burn hot on my face
The memories of you are all over the place
I can't believe you said goodbye
To our good Monday mornings.
Our good lovin' Sundays always made good Monday mornings.
(Repeat Chorus)

I can't believe you said goodbye to our good Monday mornings.

I've already got a song called "Missing You". Does that count?


If you hadn't have said so, we'd never have known.
Do you want it to count?
Skip a class, write a new song. You know you want to.


I'm not even in class today. I'm in a cafe waiting on my bassist to turn up so we can head to the studio :D so exciting!

You can write your new song later.

Ok, here is my contribution thanks to the "Where Are The Umbrellas" thread. :)

Splashes on the window sill
Dripping down the wall
The rain-soaked girl
Walks down the hall
Where are the umbrellas?
It will never stop
I let the days slip by now
Without looking at the clock
Where are the umbrellas?
I feel it's here to stay
It came the day the sun went away
With no one to cover her from the pouring rain
She searches for a place to remain
In the shelter she can not stay
For the puddles have not gone away
Where are the umbrellas?
It will never stop
I let the days slip by now
Without looking at the clock
Where are the umbrellas?
I feel it's here to stay
It came the day the sun went away

Thanks Juli and Luke. I wrote that in the dark at 2:30 AM. I'm glad I could still read it and it still made sense in the morning. Luke, you don't have to steal, you can have it.

Great job, Nikki!

Maybe I'll do another one tomorrow if we have a snow day.

I made up another one. It's kinda goofy. I wasn't feeling well. You'll probably feel ill too, after reading it.

Missing You

You've been away oh so long
The heaviness upon my chest compressed
The very breath out of my lungs

Recall the day we parted wrong
We bid farewell, your eye was dry
I swore I'd never write another love song

(Chorus--the goofy part)
I'm howling at a thousand moons*
Licking peanut butter off of spoons
I'm missing you
Writing songs that voices never share**
I haven't washed or combed my hair
I'm missing you

(This is where the sticky peanut butter licking music plays)

If ever you return my dear
We'll learn how to re-know, you know
Replace with love the emptiness and fear
(Repeat chorus)

* I first wrote that line in a notebook during my first year of college. I've been saving it for a LONG time!

** Of course, borrowed from Simon and Garfunkel's "The Sounds of Silence."
