Waterfall (acoustic gtr/vocal demo)

Jeff Gordon

July 11 - The Skirmish writing prompt is from titular…use whatever inspires you all words or just a title?:

“stubborn routine of the ohio
banks, nails, losers
robinson : twinkle waterfall
five (orpheus)
thought nocturnal”

I just came up with a story where I could use some of the words in the prompt. This one came quickly, my son is a huge Civil War historian (he’ll graduate next spring with a history/political science degree - proud papa!), so this must have come out with some of his influence on me.

Prompt words used: stubborn, routine, Ohio, nails, losers, waterfall, nocturnal

VERSE:
Captain Robinson
Sent me on my way
He knew I wasn’t a figher
And made me leave today

Southern Ohio
On the march to Gettysburg
A few of us left behind
We didn’t have the nerve

PRE:
Were we losers
Stubborn as nails
Creatures of routine
Would we have failed
In battle

CHORUS:
Waterfall
In this nocturnal summer
Waterfall
Where my heart started to flutter
When I thought of her
Waiting there for me
Waterfall

VERSE:
Then the morning came
We were up at the break of dawn
Were we AWOL
Our unit was long gone

Sittin’ on that river bank
We knew we couldn’t stay
We weren’t deserters
But we all felt that way

PRE:
Were we losers
Stubborn as nails
Creatures of routine
Would we have failed
In battle

CHORUS:
Waterfall
In this nocturnal summer
Waterfall
Where my heart started to flutter
When I thought of her
Waiting there for me
Waterfall
