I’m not the greatest campfire guitarist. Ya know that guy/girl who can rock any song that’s singable – well that’s just not me. And as well, I seem to specialize at writing sad songs. Then again, I can play brown eyed girl and Black Coffee’s a pretty happy song…
lyrics
I sit here though the campfire's out
Oh, what a night
The singers have all gone home, I didn't put up a fight
Why is it so hard, To pen something bright
All they wanted was a happy tune
A little Brown Eyed Girl
But then I run away forgetting all the chords
All oyster, no pearl
Why is it easy, To write in a minor key
Why is it easy, To write in a minor key
We derive so much strength
From both the bad times and the great
On my palette I'll create
Whatever shade my thoughts will take
