This is my first post here, but I've been writing songs for a looooong time. I only forgot to share them. whistle

Written near the end of my second marriage, the music to "Grenadine" is understandably melancholy but the lyrics, which are slighty psychedelicized, describe a deep abiding love, one of mutual respect and reciprocation. In other words, what I ultimately couldn't find with #2. It's kind of a baroque waltz.

Grenadine

You are here
So am I
And the time is now
All the day's work is done
Wipe the sweat from my brow

Spin me a crimson tune
On your color wheel
Weave me a world without fear
Our love will make it real

Oh!
Don't let me drown in that dirty ol' river
I'm not ready for "Goodnight Irene"
Life's liquor is bitter
You make it better
Like a splash of grenadine
Gre-na-dine
Gre-na-dine

Time has loosened it's grip
On our well-worn heels
Let's speak of blessings and boons
Until we're fit to spill

I'll sing you a blanket of stars
To warm your milky skin
I'll guard the door while you dream
'til Sun returns again

And I know you won't let me drown in that dirty ol' river
I'm not ready for "Goodnight Irene"
Life's liquor is bitter
You make it better
Like a splash of grenadine
Gre-na-dine
Gre-na-dine
Gre-na-dine
Gre-na-dine
