Missed The Ride (song)

by Maher   May 25, 2014


You'll find me here in restraints,
just as I ought to be.
Buckled down by the the demons in me.
As lowly as I could never let you see,
but I'm here, oh I'm here...
Sure as hell I'll be breaking away.
The smiles of yours that would brighten the day,
they ride the wings of the angels above
while they fly you to serenity

Come back Love,
bring her back from the clouds in the sky.
She's too far from me, I'd rather die.
Not patience or love let me follow her.
Though I've tried,
tried to move on in this empty life.
Dry the tears that well in my two eyes,
but I know that won't help bring her back to me,
'cause I missed the ride.

I lay me down in the bed,
right where we used to sleep.
Still I feel your breath and the touch of your feet.
Even years down the line I still struggle to breathe,
but I'm here, oh still here...
Sure as hell I've been driven insane,
why can't I forget how they took you away?
The rise of the cold and the flow of the warm,
when they sent you to serenity.

Come back Love,
bring her back from the clouds in the sky.
She's too far from me, I'd rather die.
Not patience or love let me follow her.
Though I've tried,
tried to move on in this empty life.
Dry the tears that well in my two eyes,
but I know that won't help bring her back to me,
'cause I missed the ride.

Show me how I could move on.
Through the strength of the weak
and the face of the torn.
Drag me down
but here's the lowest there is
Could I ride upon your heavenly wings?

Come back Love,
bring her back from the clouds in the sky.
She's too far from me, I'd rather die.
Not patience or love let me follow her.
Though I've tried,
tried to move on in this empty life.
Dry the tears that well in my two eyes,
but I know that won't help bring her back to me,
'cause I missed the ride.

    I uploaded an idea of how it should sound on YouTube. I don't sing too well so I just played the melody on the guitar. 1st verse and chorus only. Enjoy :)

      Thanks for the feedback :)

      It's much sadder than my others and I normally can't finish writing songs like this one.
