Steemit Open Mic Week 88 — Original Song “Gemini’s Lament”

in #openmic6 years ago (edited)

This is the first time I’ve entered Steemit Open Mic. It’s about time, eh? ;)

Hope you enjoy my new song.


Gemini’s Lament


How many times will I fall in love?
How many times will it fade?
How many times till I realize
That the magic never stays?

How is it I’m still chasing love?
How many times will I run away?
How long until I give it up?
The loneliness just stays.

Reel it in, now, let’s get real,
I never stood a chance.
This fool heart flies and falls
I can’t say no to a dance.

But how many times can I fall in love,
When all it does is slay me?
All these years and I still seek love
Even though the spark betrays.

Reel it in, now, let’s get real,
It’s probably all in my head.
This fool heart needs to settle down,
Or maybe hide instead.

But no, I’ll dive back into love,
And come crawling out again.
Like some dream-struck girl with her arms around the world
Know I’m in for a bitter end.

How many times will I fall in love?
How many times will I run away?
How long until I give it up?
The loneliness just stays.

Reel it in, now, let’s get real,
I never stood a chance.
This fool heart flies and falls
I can’t say no to a dance.

How many times till I fall in love
And take it day by day?
How long until I figure out
How to make the magic stay?

Beautiful Voice katrina. It's a pleassure for me knowing excellent singers and musicians in general like you in here, open mic and steemit. Really, you sing very nice. I really enjoyed this song. I always say that music goes to the deepest place in our soul, it has a particular way to connect with ourselves, and trust me, you achieve that.
Carry on working.

Anyway, if you have some free time, check mine on my profile please. I'd like to show you some latin-american music.

The best wishes to you katrina.
