UNDERNEATH THE RUBBLE

 

 

Don’t wait until the morning, we’re never going to get it right, but don’t give up tonight

 

I said don’t wait on the sun, because even if it don’t shine, we’ll find another light

 

Underneath the rubble there is hope. Underneath your skin you’re more than bones

 

Ooh, I hope you find me soon, because I want to find you too

 

Darling where are we going?

 

I never found the road that you’ve been on so long

I said darling what are we doing?

The waves don’t pull the moon, and I never could pull you

 

Underneath the rubble there is hope. Underneath your skin you’re more than bones

 

Ooh, I hope you find me soon, because I want to find you too

 

Oh, we’re in an ocean. Oh, and the waves don’t lie

 

Oh, we’re in an ocean. Oh, and the waves don’t lie

 

Underneath the rubble there is hope. Underneath your skin you’re more than bones

 

Ooh, I hope you find me soon

 

Every once in a while, I’ll get involved in a songwriting club. I’ve been in several different ones over the years, the most notable was Bob Schneider’s (NPR did a story on it a few years ago). The rules are always the same though. You get a word/phrase each week and then you have to write a song using that word or phrase. At the end of the week you turn in your song, you maybe get a little feedback, and then the thing starts over. If you miss a week, that’s ok. If you miss two weeks, you’re out. This song was born out of a club like that. Is this the only song on the album with a happy ending?
