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.
