Description
I wrote this a few months ago but was never happy with my attempts to sing it. Anyway, I ended up singing an octave lower and adding some harmonies and this somehow seemed to fit better with the theme of the song.
The sad pigeon? .... well he looks the part somehow!
any suggestions/feedback gratefully received
cheers and thanks for listening,
Phil

Lyrics
Did I ever know you before
You turned up alone at my door
You asked to come in
I was taken aback
But you gave me a grin
And you had the knack ….
To make me think I knew you well
It just shows you can’t always tell
A friend from a foe
A sinner from a saint
I could’ve asked you to go
But decisive I ain’t
Did you really know me before
You knocked me right down to the floor
Didn’t feel like a fight
But I just couldn’t tell
My left from my right
When you turned off my light….
And slowly I drifted away
Melting, unable to say
That I wasn’t sure
If I’d swallowed a pill
If I needed a cure
But only until….
I dreamt that I knew you before
Surprisingly clear, on a shore
‘till our footprints dissolved
Washed away by the tide
It never could be resolved
With me there by your side
Will I ever know you
Before I die
You turned up alone at my door
You asked to come in
I was taken aback
But you gave me a grin
And you had the knack ….
To make me think I knew you well
It just shows you can’t always tell
A friend from a foe
A sinner from a saint
I could’ve asked you to go
But decisive I ain’t
Did you really know me before
You knocked me right down to the floor
Didn’t feel like a fight
But I just couldn’t tell
My left from my right
When you turned off my light….
And slowly I drifted away
Melting, unable to say
That I wasn’t sure
If I’d swallowed a pill
If I needed a cure
But only until….
I dreamt that I knew you before
Surprisingly clear, on a shore
‘till our footprints dissolved
Washed away by the tide
It never could be resolved
With me there by your side
Will I ever know you
Before I die

...but it sounds like it might be too low for your voice. You mentioned you
sang it an octve lower. Was that due to range or mood? It seems to me
like taking it up a few steps would better suite your voice.
Still, I really like the song. It's got a nice easy feel to it musically. The
lyrics work really well. Kind of a dreamy, moody feel. The production is
nice. The balance is good. Everything is nice and smooth. I enjoyed it.
