Lourah: Music
Birds and Beehives
(Lourah)
November 16, 2009
Written and Performed by Leah Brooke Conway-Corso
True story - I really did meet a girl in Whitewater WI. She was doing her homework at a coffee shop I used to frequent called the Sweet Spot. We actually did do some singing together at the open mic nights at the Sweet Spot, and even started a mock white stripes cover band called the stripe - etts! She did help me write one of my songs too - the song Blue Sky Indifference started out with her and me working out chord progressions in the courtyard of my apartment building! Well, as the song goes, she did disappear shortly after we met, and I do miss her - hopefully we'll cross paths again someday...
I met a girl I think I really liked her
She had dark eyes and a beehive hairstyle
We met in a coffee shop
I sang all of my songs to her
in the corner while she studied
she studied her anatomy
I studied her anatomy
She said she really liked my music
and wanted to sing with me
she came over, we made dinner
One day she called me she was crying
all alone in her apartment
I asked her if I could come over
she said yes
She sat all alone like a sad eyed bird
in a treeless world
and she was pitiful
she was birdcage broken
she was bird cage broken
I asked her to help me write my song
her voice had a shadow then she was gone
I miss her
and her beehive hairstyle
