Night is Stealing
Night is stealing on
the day's long gone
but I can't get me into bed
the fleeting to contain
the day's long gone
but I can't get me into bed
I keep going on
try to catch the song
slowly swirling in my head
It can't wait until tomorrow
then it will be gone
never to appear again
I have to chase it now
the fleeting to contain

You sure were up late....when do we get a copy of the song?
I know that feeling, describe it, fill in the details and words later. If it is an image I try to capture it in outline first.
Sometimes the music comes first or immediately after nothing more than a single thought. It often starts as a melody or progression that feels like it might have some substance, though I'm never quite sure. I have a pretty terrible musical memory until I've heard something many, many times. So unless I get it down somehow I can almost never recall it later.
