almost there

something just hit me when i woke up, inspiration calling. finished the 3rd verse in under an hour!

here's what the 3 verses look like, with the same chord progressions outlined in the first verse:

___ E ____ D ___
It's a wayward journey

__ A add9 _
that has no end

__ E ____ D ______
We hitch a ride from where-

A add9 _
ever we can

__ E ______ D _
The winding road - oh

___ A add9 ___
seems endless ahead

F# m7 _____
Sanctuary for the

B add11 __
homeless man

F# m7 __
Sanctity to a

B add11 __
helpless friend

Your thumb never strays
from the northern sky
Walking: christmas, st. patrick's
dreams of pumpkin pies
The hymns that you sing for
the scorned and fallen
Sanctuary from an
ill reprise
Sanctity to a
hopeless plight

Like the Muir's and the Edwards's
the McCandless's before
You hit the road to answer
that whispering call
Death of the innocent spells
poetry of the damned
Sanctuary for the
forever lost
Sanctity to a
bygone cause

still needs a chorus, a bridge and a proper structure. and a real title! argh the rush and satisfaction of sensing something is almost complete, like putting in the last few pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, or licking up the remnants in an ice-cream bowl...
