lyrics

Cloudy days…
They aren’t hard to find
Distractions are done, and I see the sun
And the clouds are left far behind

Annabelle’s telling stories of fairies in trees just ignore the heads that shake
They don’t wanna see
Our tales of others and make-believe lovers aren’t half as strong as what we both wanna be

(time) Time never fought so hard
(time) tell me I’m not the only lonely one
your mind only tells you the way to approach what your heart tells you is true
so picture yourself with Anna and she’ll tell your story too

Starry nights
We’ll draw a constellation
That no one has seen
Now we’ve always been
A legend as old as the sun

cotton balls in the sky circling round you and i like a make a snow globe that’s displayed in my memory
Even beautiful birds and empty beer bottles give way to dreams I’m dreaming of you and me

(time) Time never fought so hard
(time) tell me I’m not the only lonely one
your mind only tells you the way to approach what your heart tells you is true
so picture yourself with Anna and she’ll tell your story too

about

Adam A Nelson Chicago, Illinois

I've played other people's songs in piano bars and private events around the world for 15 years. By 2022, it was beyond time for me to record my own songs. Each of these 7 songs will be dropping monthly in 2023. I hope you enjoy them!
