Liner Notes

@mahtowin wrote this in the Liner Notes
Lying in the grass, watching the river. Listening to its waves. Warm sunshine coming through the leaves and baths the scenery into golden light!
I dive into that clear cold water … shadows of the trees on the ground!
Beauty!
If that resonates with you feel free to put this little haiku into music or write your own lyrics out of that!

tiny green grasshoppers
time stands still by the river
black dragonflies buzz

Linda says I also thought about the #refrain [no chorus] challenge to add to my story. #garageband is my goto music when I can't make the music on my Mando or guitelele.

Lyrics

tiny green grasshoppers
time stands still by the river
black dragonflies buzz
(Verse 1)
Under the blue sky, lying in the grass,
Watching the river, time seems to pass.
Tiny green grasshoppers leap in the sun,
Black dragonflies buzz, our hearts become one.

(Verse 2)
Warm rays of sunshine through the leaves dance,
Bathing our world in a golden romance.
Whispers of water, a sweet lullaby,
Shadows of trees, where love comes alive.

(Refrain)
By the riverbank, we stay,
In the moment, love will sway.
By the riverbank, we stay,
In the moment, love will sway

(Verse 3)
We dive in the water, so clear and cold,
Holding each other, stories unfold.
Ripples of laughter, echoes so sweet,
In the river’s embrace, our hearts skip a beat.

(Verse 4)
The day slowly fades, twilight’s first kiss,
Wrapped in each other, purest of bliss.
Stars start to shimmer, night’s velvet veil,
Our love is a river, endless and pale.

(Refrain)

(Bridge)
Moonlight reflections, dancing on waves,
With you beside me, nothing I crave.
Together forever, in nature's domain,
Our love like the river, shall always remain.

(Verse 5)
Morning light whispers, a new day begun,
But here by the river, we stay as one.
Tiny green grasshoppers, time stands still,
With you by my side, our hearts always will.

(Refrain)

(Outro)
By the riverbank, our getaway,
Eternal love, nature’s holiday.

Sweet, mesmerizing song that pulls along, down the current, with a loving message. The guitar sets the pace, and the drums add some spice, all beneath your fine voice.
