The assignment this week comes from Artie:
"How about a song in 6/8 with a persons name in the title?"
lyrics
Linda lost her balance again
She had a hard time finding a friend
Linda lost her balance again
And when she looked up, she'd come to the end
Of the rope that hung from the rafters upstairs
And she hoped for something, but nobody cared
And she choked on the words she thought she could share
She thought that she could share
Linda lost her balance again
Linda lost her mind for a spell
She had a hard time, but no one could tell
Linda lost her mind for a spell
And when she looks down, into the well
Of her dreams, she saw that they were still there
And it seems she might finally get her fair share
And she screams, but it ends up she's going nowhere
She's going nowhere
Linda lost her mind for a spell
Linda leaves the ones that she loves
When she wakes up, she wonders why she still runs
Linda leaves the ones that she loves
She has a hard time keeping her head above
All the waves that come crashing down on her head
And she saves all the best jokes for when you have left
And when she plays out her story, you might have time to guess
You might have time to guess
Linda leaves the ones that she loves
