Sunlight Over You

by @newukenewyork

Skirmish: fold (@melodic)
There is no demo for this song.

Liner Notes

I didn’t really know what to do with “fold” as a prompt. I was going write about burritos but then I didn’t.

Lyrics only until I get some time with my ukulele.

Lyrics

First you have to go down To the corner, see what flavor You were born into this time I was writing in my diary All about the day we met How we stumbled through the sprinkler To get “accidentally” wet

I’d fold water I’d fold time I’d fold sunlight over you Like safety, make it stronger Wait…a little longer Wishing for your wishing to come true

When the dogs start barking They can smell it, starts and endings It goes better if you greet them On the wall inside my closet Wrote our names in script and Sharpie So they’d know where we had been

BRIDGE I could spend a hundred days like this And want a hundred more You let me hide your shoes You let me lock the door

I’d fold water I’d fold time I’d fold sunlight over you Like safety, make it stronger Wait…a little longer Wishing for your wishing to come true

really interesting approach to folding! it feels a bit magical and really coveys the depth of feeling for this person. "On the wall inside my closet/ Wrote our names in script and Sharpie" such interesting details. i really like this. thanks for participating!

Cool imagery. I like how hints of the relationships are given. Now I'm wishing I'd written about burritos!

I really like the chorus, and the bridge is great.
