Notes
She smells like a rainy England morning
Her hair's a wild mess
Her blue eyes flutter open
I see the tattoo on her chest.
Then I wondered like I always do
How she ever came to find me
A broken man an unpaved road
A heart gone into hiding
My days rolled altogether
There was no refuge in the night
Another bar another drink
Another random fight
A desperate man living life
Reckless and uncaring
A hand of cards a pretty smile
A story not worth sharing
So tell me girl just why it is
I can't find the words to say
You're the reason I'm still living
And the reason that I stay.

Hi Rick, I actually had a note or two going through my head as I wrote this. But since I'm not musicly inclined I couldn't get past the same 1 or 2 notes lol. I write a lot of song lyrics. They just don't have music to go with them. That's up to the artist I guess. Feel free to put music to it if you can. I'd love to hear it as a song.
I think there are more song writers who write only lyrics than song writers who do both. I am not a musician but I have written lyrics and know quite a few songs by heart.
Oh really? I thought most songwriters wrote the music to go with the lyrics. Well, that's cool.
Lyn, I could not resist and I hope you will forgive this very rough edit. But here is one way your lyrics could be put into song form.

Hi Lyn, I had formatted your song line by separate line but the software at WriteSpike merged the lines together. But you can still see the flow.
Hey Rick! I love what you did with it. Beautiful flow. It works really well that way. Now.... For the music lol
