Frog In Hand (I Been True)

2007-01-05T09:49:00.000-08:00

Here's my latest. I wrote it on New Year's Eve and figured out the chords and arrangement on New Year's Day. Hoping to perform it with Future Roots on Jan 31st at Bombs Away Cafe.

Frog In Hand (I Been True)

Tho I might keep wandering on
Pledge I'll be back 'for too long
Sweet darling, you know I been true
And as these clouds they drift away
Pledge I'll come back home to stay
In the morning, I'll come home to you

A frog in hand's worth two in the pond
Long's he's not left out too long
Darling, I been wandering too
Been wandering for a year or more
Now I'm coming back to your front door
One morning, I'll come home to you

Oh, babe of mine
It's been a long and lonely
State of mind
But now I'm on the path to rapture
But I still can't capture
That vision from the corner of my mind

Dreaming Through Back Yards

Here's my latest song. I wrote it in late November and early December. It's a several song hybid, with the various separate songs strung together.

Dreaming Through Back Yards

Spend a little time outside
Take a look and see what the sun can provide
Ten fingers held out to signal
We're headed down to the coast in this old ride
Cause when you think about home
You gotta place it just so
And when your thoughts go slow, you gotta let 'em ride

Dreaming through back yards
Houses, streets and parked cars
Sleepy streets and endless sun
The sunset and ocean rising
Rooftop gaze, clear horizon
Sleepy gaze I'm dreaming of

Cause when you think about home
You gotta let yourself go
And when your thoughts explode you gotta let 'em ride

Ten fingers held up to signal
Ten fingers held up to signal
Ten fingers held up to signal
Ten fingers held up to signal

Tell me more about the other day when you held them fingers up to signal
They said we're headed back the other way, when you held them high fingers black against the sky
Black moon, white sky, no I'm never gonna die
I never thought the same as I did them, but I think about it now, and it'll never come again

She said "hi" (and he said "low")
We're headed down to the corner store
Six-packs and cigarettes (but not for me)

The way we try (the way you try)
I get so tired (ain't no need to try)
Times are hard enough outside my mind

So roll with the punches and stomp on the floor
Shakin', no fakin', can't take anymore
Sleep until sunrise, no locks on the door
So roll with the punches and stomp on the floor

She's so high (and he's so low)
Climb onboard, babe, we're headed for the coast
Ain't no better place to rest your weary mind

(I'd like to fly) think I'll lie awhile
(And swim to the tide) ease my mind awhile
Pacific ocean beaches for miles and miles

So roll with the punches and stomp on the shore
Shakin', no fakin', can't take anymore
Sleep until sunrise, no locks on the door
So roll with the punches and stomp on the shore

Hi everyone, this is my first post on my new personal blog, robinozretich@blogspot.com.

I'll be posting on a variety of my interests (mainly being politics and music I suppose). I'll be posting my orginal song lyrics and updates on my band Future Roots. See you around!
