Keep 'em Coming

I realize I posted this about 2 1/2 years ago but I've decided to post it again. I'm hoping it inspires me to do a bit of writing this weekend.
Over Christmas weekend an old friend asked if I had been writing any songs lately and I had to admit I hadn't written anything in a long time. But here's the first song I ever wrote.

Come Over

It's Tuesday at midnight
and all the sounds that I hear
fall like empty raindrops, baby
and it hurts my ear

So I shift in the darkness
to see where you used to be
and I ache for noises, baby
I yearn for thee

Why don't you come over?
and spend the night with me
Why don't you come over, baby
we could set this silence free

(and we could set this silence free)

I soak up the nighttime
of quietness in bed
and the hush of your green eyes, baby
echoes through my head

the thought of your body
slowly floods my dreams
I'm drowning without you, baby
and I want to scream

Why don't you come over?
and spend the night with me
Why don't you come over, baby
we could set this silence free

(and we could set this silence free)
