My Wicked Ways, Pt. 2

My Wicked Ways is actually one of the first songs I’ve ever written – back in 1993. Back then I did not write lyrics for the song, so I added those last year when I listened to some of my “earlier” stuff. That’s the reason for the “Pt. 2” in the title.

My Wicked Ways is actually not too wicked a song. It’s a light ballad and you can get the VST based demo as mp3 (128kbit, enclosed). Words, music and vocals by Tobias Schwarz, 1993-2005.

Lyrics –

My Wicked Ways, Tobias Schwarz © 1993-2005

(Verse 1)
I lived a shallow b-movie life
The kind no one needs to see
If you hadn’t made me
Change the script
I’d still wander round deprived

Lost myself on the road to nowhere
Until I found you

(Chorus)
Far beyond all things
You pull my strings
I would give my life for you.

(Verse 2)
For all the days and drunk blue nights
I’ve squandered with delight
I’ve never wasted any of the love
That was my guiding light

My world lies in your loving eyes
Can’t live without you

Chorus:
Far beyond all things
You spread my wings
I would give my life for you.

(Primary Bridge)
You save me from my wicked ways
Bring sunshine to my days
And my love is all I can give
You are my saving grace

Addicted to your blue eyes’ glance
Enchanted by your soft touch

(Chorus)
Far beyond all things
My heart just sings
I would give my life for you.

Far beyond all things
My heart just sings
I would give my life for you.
