Putting My New Song Together - John Miles

Putting my new song together

So many things on my mind

Words and music go around in my head

I can’t seem to leave you behind

I push you away, but I’m wasting my time

I can’t understand why I’m trying

I’m telling myself that I really feel fine

But I know there’s a part of me dying

Putting my new song together

The man once said that you get what you give

So change your ways before you get older

If you’re getting much more of what you’re giving to me

Better keep looking over your shoulder

Don’t need no one, you can do what you want

Don’t even have to think of tomorrow

So when you come right down and get your head from the clouds

Going to live just with you and your sorrow

Putting my new song together

So many things on my mind

Words and music go around in my head

I can’t seem to leave you behind

I push you away, but I’m wasting my time

I can’t understand why I’m trying

I’m telling myself that I really feel fine

But I know there’s a part of me dying

Putting my new song together

I just don’t see it would do any good

Don’t need another song to remind me

That when I close my eyes and you’ll be standing right there

It feels like you’re always behind me

I hope one day I will see you again

And then I won’t be writing a sad song

Till then I’ll spend my time at the end of the line

Just hoping that you want me to turn on

Baby, baby, don’t make it too long

Putting my new song together, yeah

Putting my new song together

Putting my new song together, yeah
