Today's 20 minute write. Another uplifting lyric (sorry folks) 😀
SUZIE!
VERSE
Dreamers lose dreams in the Autumn
When beauty is starting to fade.
The vision it flickers so slowly.
As Summer is turning to grey.
VERSE
Suzie she came from the cold lands.
The Sun it had called her too soon.
She lost all she had on the sidewalk.
The liquor, the needle and spoon.
CHORUS
She had the voice.
She was the tune.
She found the needle
She used the spoon.
Suzie!
VERSE
She got trapped in the city of angels.
Neon lights and the buzz in the air.
The rejections became mere reflections
That spun through her world of despair.
CHORUS
Captured in neon
She should be there
Alone in the gutter
Beyond all repair
Suzie!
MIDDLE
Oh Suzie!
Where are you?
Oh Suzie!
You’re gone.
Your folks have been waiting.
For you to come home.
The logs in the fireside
Crackling and warm
They are waiting for you to
Come in from the storm.
Cos you told them
CHORUS
You would return
Give them the news
Too busy to share.
All your reviews.
Suzie!
BRIDGE
Some dreamers burn brightly
With a tenure that’s lightly
Wrapped in a singer’s cocoon.
Her voice was a giver
The excitement a quiver
That took her downriver too soon.
CHORUS
She had the voice.
She was the tune.
She found the needle
She used the spoon.
Suzie!
Suzie!
Suzie!

It’s a great lyric - good inference throughout - and I think an unfortunately frequent story
