Shall I post it, shall I not post it - oh f*ck it!

I feel a bit of a fraud with everyone else on here so talented but hey you've got to have a bit of ying to go with the yang.

So I'm playing the piano in the dark with my eyes closed, 1 track, another "statement" (as it's short)

In the night

It breaks my heart that you no longer want me
It breaks my heart that you're with her not me
Is she prettier than me?
Is she funny?
Does she kiss you like I used to do?
Does she touch away your fears?
In the night
In the night
In the night
In the night


Do you hold her like you held me?
Do you whisper vague eternities?
Do you flee the bed while it's still warm
Like you did to me?
In the night
In the night
In the night
In the night
And it breaks my heart

Don't short yourself, you've got the voice of an angel I'd say!  Great song writing skills as well - nice one!

Worth filling this one out Hils love it .....

[AndyR]

ALWAYS post it Hilary

This is another powerful little "statement" - I think it's long enough to be classed as a song, actually... LOL

Nice one. Love it.

[Ray Brookes]

Don't ever hesitate to post your stuff, Hilary; always enjoy listening to your songs and this one is no exception. Raw, simplistic musically and lyrically deep and emotive.

[Kenny B]

Well I'm glad you posted it ... It's really beautiful.

[Redler]

I like your songs! No matter are they played on uke or piano etc...

Sweet!

[Frank53]

Sweet and intimate. Poignant lyrics, and your voice carries it beautifully.

Love this Hilary. Sometimes the simplest tunes are best. So much said in such a short time, It's a real gem, love it

[TPB]

I like it would love to cover something like this I think some strings in the back ground would set this already fine song up. You know most times simple is best and I loved the lyrics
