A long forgotten song


While I was rummaging through a very old backpack, I suddenly recovered a boarding pass and an e ticket of one of my flights to London. Almost a year ago now, and I suddenly remembered that sitting at the airport lounge that night, I had utilised my ticket and penned down a few words behind it. I hope I'll finish this song someday and maybe put some music to these lyrics. Until then, its here for safekeeps.
Oh and yes - this is just for the heck of it, maybe the reason why I could not complete it then. Its very rightly said that songs are written in moments of inspiration ;) Maybe I have yet to be inspired for this!!

I think I'd like to begin this on C, but I'll keep my options open :P

Words fail me day and night
You're not here with me but that's alright
And as I speak into the phone
You're oh so near

I've been waiting for a sigh
I've been searching, why o why
I hear your voice on the phone
And dream that you are here

The times gone by
The days of yore
They're back again
Just like before

So much for that! And then I fell asleep. This was almost a year ago now! And I remember as soon as I got to office in London that time - I had to go to that God forsaken town in Yorkshire that is called Leeds! I have still not been able to understand how people can actually come in that town to settle down and work long term! I was there for just about 5 weeks and I think I had to travel to London every weekend to keep me going Monday through Friday! But I guess this just happens to be another of those innumerable things that I cannot fathom!

Oh by the way - today's been the perfect Saturday! Went out very early in the morning for a game of cricket - came back by about 12 - had a quick brunch and dozed off big time! Just woke up an hour ago, and now - time out! Heading out to meet up with A, D, and M (One of them happens to be the rock of Gibraltar I mentioned a long time ago!!)
