Here's another, except this one's for a guy I used to know. BTW thanks for your replies on the last post!


Beautiful days and tall eucalyptus trees
Still remain in my eyes
My tears wash away the dust in my memories
Thinking of you, and regretting saying goodbye

Photos of you shine in my hand
If only they'd once more be real
Time is my enemy, once was my friend
He can't understand how I feel

Not so long ago, these beautiful images
Weren't even precious to me
It's so different now, they're like paper diamonds
Set in rings I wear on my heart, where they always will be

Photos of you, I take in my mind
As though you were smiling before my gaze
But they're only repeats of long gone times
That play in my head as I sit through the days

I wish that those sparkling jewels so rare were really your eyes
It's cold, lifeless paper in a warm disguise

Beautiful days and tall eucalyptus trees
Still remain in my eyes
My tears wash away the dust in my memories
Thinking of you, and regretting saying goodbye
Goodbye

Well that was even better than the last one. You have beautiful, descriptive, totally original phrases, and a natural, non-cliched way of rhyming.

i think you are possibly the best songwriter we've had here.

it'd be great if you feedbacked more of other people's work, your opinion would be invaluable!

Thanks for your praise and advice! I'll reply to others' work some more.
