The Soppiest Love Song

There is no demo for this song.

Liner Notes

It’s been almost a week since I lost my voice, and I still can’t sing, which is very frustrating. Happened across this skirmish and had to put a twist on the “soppy love song” brief. #lyricsonly alas

Lyrics

Darling, I love you, but something is dripping I cherish you dearly, but wait just a sec A hard rain will fall, though ideally outside And here in the kitchen, our socks are all wet The sugar’s dissolved, the humidity’s wrong This must be the soppiest love song

It looks like the ceiling burst over the bed The pillows are drowning in place Upstairs, our neighbor’s abandoned his bath A waterfall’s out on the fire escape The H20 dripping just keeps flowing on, that Makes this the soppiest love song

BRIDGE The day that we married was hot, it was dry As Kansas so often becomes, mid-July Days since, the odd thundercloud sweeps 'cross the sky Other times floodwater threatens to rise Some storms will blow over, some nights someone cries

Now I’ll steady you while you pull on your boots Let’s roll up our pants and go wading Nothing this thrilling has washed over us Since May 94, when we first started dating It’s gone out the door, now a lake’s on the lawn And this is the soppiest love song

This is the soupiest, Lit’rally soggiest, Drippiest, soppiest Love song

I’m feeling swamped, but I’ll go with the flow Come hell or high water, I love you the most

A good use of the "wet" aspect of your love. I went this way too.

Ha! I love the metaphor and play with words! Such wonderfully vivid images the convey a very soggy soppy love! Love this section - Now I’ll steady you while you pull on your boots. Let’s roll up our pants and go wading Nothing this thrilling has washed over us Since May 94, when we first started dating

I love this take on the prompt! It’s really fun with a lot of great water-related imagery.

I hope your voice comes back soon, and I'm sure you've got a tune in mind for this fine lyric. Touching, humbling and evocative.... goodness May 1994, I was living a totally different life then! Excellent write 😊
