Anna Coogan: Music

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

I've had these lyrics kicking around for years-- but never could find the right tune for them. I like the dark, modal way this song turned out, but I may write another tune for it on a later record.

Back to the World

A young man told his father
this is all that I can bare
I cannot be your everything
when I am barely there
you talk about salvation
like some change I got to wear
no one asked me but I’m nothing but scared

he had fallen for a women
who had fallen far from grace
and the lines upon her body and the scars upon her face
she said I would love to love you but it’d bring you such disgrace
it’d bring you down

bring you down, down back to the world

do you believe in diamonds, do you believe in gold
do you believe in anything from those stories you’ve been told
do you believe in happy endings, do you believe that things are good
and no matter where you fall you’re gonna end up where you should

where you fall, fall back to the world

do you believe in diamonds , do you believe in gold
do you believe in anything from those stories you’ve been told
do you believe the bible, do you believe in love, do you believe that what you have is enough
