December is Raucus (Fifth Song: The Arrival)

I'm getting kind of nervous, I have 1 day left and 2 songs (after this one) to finish. I'm almost thinking about taking the number down to five in a week next week, especially due to exams but then I'm afraid that I will wimp out from then on...

With this song, I had to do something a little weird. The chorus is a fast ukelele and the verses are guitar much slower. Its the same tempo, just halved strummed wise (and sung-wise I guess)

The Arrival

Hey there darlin, hey there friend
It's nice to see you how have you been?
All this time that you've been gone
I'm so glad to see you after so long

Chorus:
It's sunny outside
Things are going fine
I know its been a while
That's why I can't hold back my smile

Did you really spend your months in sadness
All the months you spent in absence
It seems you've come back in a trance
But I just want you to dance.... to dance... with me.
--------------
When seconds turned to hours, hourse to months
I spent the first few looking without any luck
But I never gave up I'd never cease
Until I had you in my arms, until I had my peace (And now its)

Chorus:
It's sunny outside
Things are going fine
I know its been a while
That's why I can't hold back my smile

Did you really spend your months in sadness
All the months you spent in absence
It seems you've come back in a trance
But I just want you to dance.... to dance... with me.
--------------
Bridge:
And of all these things that are happening
in the twists and turns of this tragic life
I know I can handle all of it
With you now by my side
--------------
Chorus:
It's sunny outside
Things are going fine
I know its been a while
That's why I can't hold back my smile

Did you really spend your months in sadness
All the months you spent in absence
It seems you've come back in a trance
But I just want you to dance.... to dance... with me.
--------------


I think I'm actually considering making this a duet. The two chorus sides are from either side of the conversation and the verses as well.

Two to go (ACK!!!!)
