Hear Me Calling

Song lyrics. Fluffy guitar for the verse, Rockin' the chorus.

Can you hear me calling
Words falling from the sky
Asking if you want to
Come with me and fly ~

And if the answer is ~ yes
Then
Come on now
Let's get together and
Then some how
We'll make it work ~ out ~

Do you see the color
The color of our love
Painting us a picture
In the skies above ~

Leave all your worries be ~ hind
And
Come with me
We'll take a journey so
You can see
We need each oth ~ er

Have you ever wished for
While falling like a star
That we had the magic
Put an end to war ~

And if the answer is ~ yes
Then
Come on now
Let's get together and
Then some how
We'll make it work ~ out

1994

Author's Note

I wrote these lyrics for a melody I had first. Many of my poems I turned into songs after I wrote them and years later found melody in them. This was fun to play. Cross pickin' guitar. I play bass, hammered dulcimer and tenor sax in my youth

i like the title ... it sparks all kinds of thoughts and feelings .. the turn surprised me .. all along I'm trying to decide what band or singer i hear singing this ... some one that has a billy-rock style .. i think that's the right term for a mix of country and rock and roll .. then when this becomes a love song against war .. and even further all the ways we hurt one another .. i started to recall the singer songwriters like Arlo Guthry, Joan Baez, Cat Stevens (i think he would do a great job with your song) .. love can never get old can it!?

Thanks E. I like the idea of Cat Stevens singing this. He might slow it down a bit. If I had to pick an old band, I could hear the Beatles doing this. Paul McCartney on lead. My new band pick would be the Flaming Lips.

"The Flaming Lips" ... it grabs ya for sure .. i played drums in HS years .. we called ourselves the "Midnight Walkers" ... what a time .. that was in the mid 60s .. i think your poem has what it needs to easily be a song ..

I really like this stanza of falling like a star 🌟

[William Michael Reeves]

Thanks. If only the bombs falling became magical stars spreading love instead of death.

Hear me calling, like calling out to someone so dear. Really liked the part where you said "and if yes, then come on now let's get together and then somehow we'll make it work out".

[William Michael Reeves]

Thanks Masrurah. Just a little cooperation and it can happen. Well, maybe a lot of cooperation...
