Weekend Jesus – Don’t Know What Came Over Me
Just finished in time to submit this song inspired by true imposters and be part of this with all of you!
Drove all night to the Kingdome. just my Dad and me
To see the “79” All-Stars from the bleacher seats
With Nolan in the pen,
and Yaz back again
Watched my heroes catching warmups in the outfield
Yankees number thirteen wasn’t on the roster
Dropping balls he coulda caught if he weren’t an imposter
My Dad held me up high,
The man called here you go little guy
And he tossed me a ball that I’d forever treasure
As they led him away
I swear I heard him say
Don’t know what came over me
I dared to shine like the sun
And if my radiant glow touched even one single soul
I Hope it comes over me again, oh no I
Don’t know what came over me
Dad didn’t make it out of the Twin Towers
So I flew off to Jerusalem drinking whiskey sours
Walked past Damascus Gate,
praying for some kind of fate
When a man called out hey I know your father
I don’t wanna judge a guy on a donkey
Wearing hotel sheets is kinda funky
But if he knows my Dad,
then I’m no longer sad
It means my Dad is looking down on me
As they led him away
I swear I heard him say
Don’t know what came over me
I dared to shine like the sun
And if my radiant glow touched even one single soul
I Hope it comes over me again, oh no I
Don’t know what came over me
Standing outside Home Depot since opening time
Staring near the entrance at the help wanted sign
A man in a Batman cape, Called out
I’m here to save the day
And you look like you are really in a bind
Engineers were let go n’you lost your house, Well
When the Joker had me cornered, did I throw in the towel
If you ever lose your zeal, Come
Take a ride in my bat mobile
Now go in there man and take away that job
As they led him away
I swear I heard him say
Don’t know what came over me
I dared to shine like the sun
And if my radiant glow touched even one single soul
I Hope it comes over me again, oh no I
Don’t know what came over me
As they led him away
I swear I heard him say,
Don’t know what came over me
Really nice lyrics, like poetry set to music. Sometimes I start by writing my feelings down then turn it into a song. Music can be a great healer.
Waow! There is a lot in your song. “Write what you know,”is what you have done.
I like a story in my songs also!
“if my radiant glow touched even one single soul ” ….. I think you know it has, is & will again! Wot’s modern broadway in your book? Interesting chain of thought here!
Truly original. Great piece of work.
Really enjoyed that, had to listen twice!! Don’t know what came over me!
