I’ve decided to title the chapters with some of Tell’s song lyrics. Of course, this means I now have to write said lyrics …
Here’s a sample of the inner workings of my favorite half-velyr:
Do you see me? Do you know me?
Am I just a backdrop scene?
My Melancholy
Around and around and around
It cycles, like our life, like our love.
Cycles
Baby I live your storms,
Catching thunder in my hands.
Laughing at the Rain
Feels like Autumn rain,
But you will always be my summer love.
Roadhouse Melody
Cold rain falls. Cold mist rises.
What is it you want from me?
Early Morning Echo
Rolling down, rolling on.
I can take this highway on — rolling on.
Highway Down
I’m empty without you, without me and you.
Fill me like a paper cup, crumple me up and throw me down.
Two O’Clock
Looking out over the edge,
Looking right at the sunrise.
Horizons
They’re rushing through their busy lives.
I feel glass walls closing in.
Rhythm of the Village
He’s only seventeen, worlds in his eyes,
Why so blue, Seventeen?
Seventeen Blue
Can a broken soul be mended?
Can a shattered life rejoin?
Fractured
She keeps him in a little box
On the mantel with her soul’s desires.
Dust on the Mantel
Sun comes up, like every day,
Rising, rising. My soul on fire for you.
Sedona Sunrise
