about

"A Song For You" is about the first sprouts of a relationship and how things can sometimes move more quickly than anticipated. A short, feisty tune that Miles brought to rehearsal almost completed, it has been described thusly:

"Though the instrumentation is advanced and the lyrics are practically literary, “A Song For You” is extremely easy for any listener to relate to."

lyrics

A chance encounter at best, a brush with fate at the worst,
Your words enacted a spell, the spell enacted a curse.
It didn't matter what you said, though what you said couldn't hurt,
Your tones could elevate me to the sky from the dirt.

From the dirt.

And just like that you were gone, out of sight not of mind,
But not before you left me with my heart in a bind.
What was I to do, with you a borough away?
If I sing this loud enough then you might here me say,

I didn’t mean to write a song for you,
I didn’t mean to write a song for you,
Just the thought of you has kept me sane,
As all my fears begin to wane,
Even though it’s only been a week or two.

The image of your smile stops my breath once again,
Prevents me from departing at my stop on the train.
Late evening conversations on the ghosts from the past,
Incessantly insisting that that love won't last.

That love wont last!

Your profile on the Hudson perched upon that table,
Disheartened by the pain your frame is forced to fable.
You awaited my arrival though I paused at the time,
If you wait a little longer I can sing you my crimes.

I didn’t mean to write a song for you,
I didn’t mean to write a song for you,
Just the thought of you has kept me sane,
As all my fears begin to wane,
Even though it’s only been a week or two.

I could watch you work for hours, maybe days at a time,
As the off-chance of us being free is so hard to find.
If you follow in my footsteps, just you wait and see,
Your feet will sink in the prints, so don't follow me,
Don't follow me,
Don't follow me,
Don't follow me.
