Having a little fun with this one. Hope you like it. Wondering if this qualifies as a body part?
The Window to Your Soul
V1
I know all your dirty laundry
But I don't know your name
Round and round and round it goes
Each Monday it's the same
V2
You arrive at ten o'clock
In sweats and a faded tee
Head to washer number two
So I choose number three
Chorus
I watch the window to your soul
A swirling mass of colors
Bright and beautiful
My heart does a barrel roll
As I watch the window to your soul
Bridge
It's man versus machine
As the minutes count down
Wish I could tell you how I feel
And finally come clean
Chorus
I watch the window to your soul
A swirling mass of colors
Bright and beautiful
My heart does a barrel roll
As I watch the window to your soul

What an incredible metaphor here. Brilliant!
Your first FAWM! Well, then, welcome from me! Looks like you've made an increible splash and well deserved. If you don't know about it yet, please ask me, but I hope I'll see/read you again during 50/90! :)

This is sooo good! Like it a lot. I actually know someone who had a tide tryst, love at the laundromat, Might have been during the spin cycle, but ended up with a wash, dry and a daughter. True story!
Great write A!!

Could've sworn I had already gushed about this piece earlier, but I don't see it so maybe I never finished writing it. This is so original. I think in what I was trying to write before I said that it was wonderfully romantic, in spite of the pedestrian milieu of a laundromat. Genius to pull that off. It will make a fine song. Well done, Andrea.
Oh, now I know--I fell for this on a different website where you post under a different handle and that's where I commented. You are quite the talent.

Love these lyrics, evocative storytelling, great stuff.
Hoping for a sequel called Laundromatrimony after the narrator finally comes clean and they get together haha
@greengrassgirl Feb 2022
Andrea--FABULOUS lyric! A real winner, in my book. Hope you find the right musician/vocalist to make it a song! It's very good!
@bhudgeons Feb 2022
nice one.
@nadine Feb 2022
Well I think it's a body part. Very clever question. Same as the lyrics.
@sunfire Feb 2022
Brilliantly clever. Really like this one.
@monty Feb 2022
I love the metaphor but I think you may have meant "man versus machine." Sometimes my verses are kinda computer generated (I use Band-in-a-Box a lot) so maybe I'm mistaken. :)

sent you a link in the email above. Sorry, I'm new here...lol
@oswlek Feb 2022
I love this. What a wonderful twist on an "object of desire" song. "Come clean" is superb writing. I would pat myself on the back for a week if I came up with that! :-)
@clbalke Feb 2022
Let me know where to send the link to the video.
@clbalke Feb 2022
I think I got something for you. I'll be back. Can I send you a message with a recording?
