She Lives In Present Tenses Version 2 by larkspurmusic published on 2013-03-25T03:22:48Z Assignment for Berklee songwriting course is verse 2 to chorus 1. She Lives in Present Tenses Verse 1 The hour is late and the dinner done Cappuccino dusted with cinnamon Romance spun from gypsy violins And she wonders if he’ll ask her home with him Verse 2 She likes that singing silver sound Of the spoon when he stirs his coffee round He drinks dark roast with honey and cream And she’s almost sure this is a dream Chorus He has candlelit eyes of experience But his eyes, they don’t say forever But when they’re together Somehow he senses she lives She lives in present tenses Verse 3 Midnight walk along a river All consumed by kisses and quivers She feels so wonderful When he tells her He tells her she’s beautiful Chorus He has moonlit eyes of experience But his eyes, they don’t say forever But when they’re together Somehow he senses she lives She lives in present tenses Comment by Greg Goldenberg Like the song very much. Sounds so "open". You have a beautiful voice, and I love "dinner done/cinnamon"! It also sounds great how line 4 of each verse unfolds... 2013-04-09T03:56:28Z Comment by wordmavenmusic Hey Dawn, reminds me of early, early Joni--cool-- 2013-04-07T01:59:58Z
