New Song

[catsittingstill]

You know what day it is? Well, you might very well have forgotten and who could blame you? After all I missed the last two. But it's Alice Day--the day when I post lyrics and an mp3 to a (usually) new song.  If you would like to see songs from previous Alice Days, click on the "new song" tag.

So do you like Alice Day in general?  This song in particular?  These posts are not getting a lot of responses, so I have no way of knowing if they are pleasing a lot of people or just a dedicated few.   

Art Feeds Life mp3 (a capella) is here
lyrics and melody by Cat Faber

Art feeds life and life feeds art
And art feeds life, but you know you need
Guts and brains to follow your heart
Into the life you dared to start
And the dreams that sometimes make you bleed.

So you pay the price assessed
Burn bright, beating back dark of death
Still you feel in your secret chest
There are times that you wish for rest
More than water or food or breath.

You're glad you made the crossroad deal.
You swore to go to any length,
And all your friends who wish you weal,
Straighten spines of silver and steel,
Tap their spirits to will you strength.

Strongly though you wish to stay,
The story calls you down the road;
You know you can't go on this way,
But still you think for one more day,
If you stand up straight you can bear the load.

(repeat 1st verse)
