Take Me To The Shade

(words and music by Randy Wayne Belt)

 

You’re moving like a stream that’s lost

On a swinging bridge to cross

Don’t look back - don’t look down

Hey Now You know how it goes

 

Circle around on a spinning top

Head is down and your feet wont stop

But don’t stay there or anywhere – hey there

 

Why don’t you take me to the shade awhile

Sounds Good to me

Why don’t we watch the skyline fade awhile

Sounds good to me - sounds good to me

 

Make this day forever

We can weight endeavor’s

Out in the shady weather now

 

Sea is calm and the heavens hot

Anchors down with a clove hitched knot

Can’t look far can’t see near – stay here

 

Why don’t you take me to the shade awhile

Sounds Good to me

Why don’t we watch the skyline fade awhile

Sounds good to me - sounds good to me

 

Why don’t you take me to the shade awhile

Sounds good to me

Why don’t we watch the skyline fade awhile

Song Notes:

Happy vibe upbeat song and crossing country into folk rock perhaps in style but flowing smoothly.

To me there’s nothing more romantic than a beautiful sunset. This song is designed to take you there. “Why don’t we watch the skyline fade awhile – Sounds good to me” 

Put away the stresses of the day and just sit in the shade with someone you hold dear and watch the sun go down. 

Always looking for a new approach to songwriting, this one was built around the bass line which was written first.
