Songwriting COLLAB by Agner and Agner

Let the shades down a little longer
I just can't take the sun today.
No matter what she does,
I'm too afraid to put my guitar away.
I stuff last night's clothes into the closet
To forget about the hours gone past.
Too many worn out sails
On a broken down mast.

And to think it would be so easy
To let go.
To think it would be so easy,
If only you weren't smiling so.

There's no more room for love songs.
Not much room for love these days.
No more room inside my room
To give my blues away.

So I may scribble some words for you,
and put them over a sad sad tune
Old words sung by the cowboys and dreamers
All singing under a sad sad moon.

But what's the point in it, really?
Where here we are at the end.
My songs to you have yet to pull through
So I'll write this one to the trash bin.

And to think it would be so easy
To say goodbye and walk away
To think it would be so easy
If only I could say

That there's no more room for love songs
Not much room for love these days.
There's no more room inside my room
To let my blues just slide away.

Oh and now I'm starting to see
That writing to you is only an excuse
For myself to write to me.

I always looked for answers
Inside the creases of your skin
And now I'm left with the question:
Will this song come to an end
Where my life can begin again?

So here's another love song
One more love song to save the day
Here's another love song
To keep my blues at bay.
