I have always ended FAWM with an ending type of song. I wrote and recorded this last night when I was half asleep. The more energetic shanty was today. I'm closing down the songwriting machine until March and will spend the next few days now listening. Wrote one more song than last FAWM, so I guess it was a success.
#721 Time For Sleep ©2022 by Rob Lincoln Capo 6
I think it’s time to shut things down
I think the time is getting near the end
I think that night has come to town
And it’s time for sleep
I think the dark will soon begin
I think that tiredness is setting in
I think I cannot think to rhyme
And it’s time for sleep
I have nothing left to say
It’s now time for words to go away
There’s only so much we can do
And it’s time for sleep
I think its time to say goodbye
Thank you for listening to me once again
I think I’ve answered questions why
And it’s time for sleep 2x

"I think that night has come to town"...cool way to express that. This is lovely. I really like that melody and the guitar sounds really great. Good delivery! Good song!

oh beautiful, delicate guitar picking, capoed high. And really like the melody of this, each line ending as if taking a big breath out and closing your eyes for a second. Your voice sits well with the guitar, comes across so steady and comforting. I'm totally in agreement with the sentiment as well, kind of makes me sad too. I love, "Time for words to go away." For now :-)

Your voice sounds great here. Nice finger picking on your guitar. Dig the shirt too…

Very pretty! You sure know how to crank them out. I was feeling this at 4am last night (this morning). Thank you for being on this journey with me and commenting on so many of my songs.
