My Songmakers friend Kate Isenberg performs at a local venue called the WitzEnd in Venice, CA. During a discussion on songwriting, I said that I don't let the truth get in the way of a good song.
This new song does have some auto-biographical elements, but I also take some artistic license. Here is a MIDI version to listen to, and the PDF sheet music if you would like to play it. Lyrics are below:
Wits End
I am close to the edge of infinity
I am close to my wits end
Down on my luck, down on my life,
Turning my back on my friends.
I am close to the edge of infinity
I am close to my wits end
I can't think straight, I can't see straight,
I can't find my way home...
Three young muses sing me their songs,
Songs about love, songs about dreams,
Songs about going home...
Will I ever learn my lessons?
Will I ever dream in color?
Will I ever find my way home?
Three young muses sing me their songs,
Songs about love, songs about dreams,
Songs about going home...
I am close to the edge of infinity
I am close to my wits end
