Smile: A Bill Coleman Song
Irish musician and skills exchange member Bill Coleman gives us another song this week. Something to smile about at the end of the week. So in his own words “I ended up in trouble this week, spent a load of time on something that didn’t work out, so here’s an old tune that I never worked on. In THE BOOK it’s right next to “I Want You to Know“, which likely means it was written just before or after that.
It possibly needs a bit more on the writing front. It possibly needs a whole pile of things, but only time will tell…”
Smile
I claimed the last of the hooch this Sunday,My head feels like I drank the whole world dry,
And I bared my soul on Monday,
Like a life spread out to smile.
Feeling older – wildly fit,
Like a saw into a jig,
And it still burns and it still hurts,
And I still yearn and I still curse.
I took care of business gladly,
I smiled off the lack of air,
And the world it smiled on me sweetly,
So I take joy in the pint of plain.
But I’m feeling older – wildly fit,
Like a saw into a jig,
And it still burns and it still hurts,
And I still yearn and I still curse.
I’m feeling older – wildly fit,
Like a saw into a jig,
And it still burns and it still hurts,
And I still yearn and I still curse.
