This song concept was bouncing around in my head for days, and I finally sat down to bleed it out. I realized recently that the majority of songs that the crowd (meaning all of you bloggers) inspires me to write are about loneliness or hunger (in all senses of the word). I am considering releasing digital albums of sets of the songs written for this blog, and this may be the title track for the first such album. I wanted to devote this posting to someone who seems to get the song’s message. I started searching by the tag lonely, and what I read was too gray to mirror the music. Then I realized my tune is actually hopeful. The speaker believes in the power of his voice/music/energy to travel faster than his feet to find his lost lover. So this is a song for a hopeful, loving blogger, like: natalieeelovesyou. And all you lonely bloggers I stumbled upon first—I recommend wallowing in the positive vibe on her blog for awhile.

     Lonely and hungry for you

I waited for you to come home—
years I waited, all alone.
When you didn’t come back, I packed a bag
and started walking down the road.

I didn’t know where you’d gone,
so I wrote this song, just so you’d know:
I’m lonely and hungry for you,
so lonely and hungry for you.

My feet have have covered many miles,
but there are many miles left to go.
I’m gonna use the radio to find you—
‘cause sound travels faster than me.

I don’t know where you’ve gone,
so I wrote this song, just so you’ll know:
CHORUS

Strangers warn me you may be dead,
but you can’t be—I haven’t found you yet.
I don’t know where you’re hiding,
but I’ll seek ‘til my days are long.

I don’t know where you’ve gone,
so I wrote this song, just so you’ll know:
CHORUS
