GLORIA ROUBAL'S DAILY HAND GENERATED TYPE PHRASE #179

Today's phrase is a song title. I wrote this song a few years ago and never had it properly recorded. I did record a demo of it on Garageband, which was really, really fun (and I'm fairly proud of my little production of it!), but I'm hoping to someday record another CD of just songs I wrote completely by myself. Ah well... No time for that at the moment.

Oh, and I do play the song at live solo performances, occasionally.

SEA OF APOLOGIES (words and music written by Gloria Roubal)

I used to float but lately I've been pulled down
I struggle to maintain my head above
Knowing what I know now about how you believe
You can talk your way out of anything
Take advantage of my love

You had me fooled then when you got down on your knees
So promising that image I observed
And now I rue the day when I first said hey baby that's okay
It began a chain of pardons that you did not deserve

Swimming through the sea of your apologies
Has a quality like sweet but tainted honey
Like one of my old dreams
Can barely move it's hard to breathe
And the only way is out that time is running

When only just a few had been said to me by you
It was effortless to wash up on the shore
The best of us can make the very worst of bad mistakes
Getting over yours was easy for you
So you made them even more

But the sorries were increasing
Time between them started shrinking
And the guilt you were releasing formed an anchor tied to me
For my forgiveness you would plead
And the more I would concede
The more I sank so regretfully

I used to float but lately I've been pulled down
But now I can regain my buoyancy
Knowing what I know now I think I'll say goodbye and go now
Fly away on these new wings of clarity

Swimming through the sea of your apologies
Has a quality like sweet but tainted honey
Like one of my old dreams
Can barely move it's hard to breathe
And the only way is out that time is running

Swimming through the sea of your apologies
Has a quality like sweet but tainted honey
Like one of my old dreams
Can barely move it's hard to breathe
And the only way is out that time is running

The only way is out that time is running
Only way is out that time is running
