John Miles - Putting My New Song Together Lyrics

Putting my new song together
So many things on my mind
Words and music go around in my head
I can't seem to leave you behind

I push you away but I'm wasting my time
I can't understand why I'm trying
I'm telling myself that I really feel fine
But I know there's a part of me dying
Putting my new song together

The man once said that you get what you give
So change your ways before you get older
If you're getting much more of what you're giving to me
Better keep looking over your shoulder

Don't need no one, you can do what you want
Don't even have to think of tomorrow
So when you come right down
And get your head from the clouds
Going to live just with you and your sorrow

Putting my new song together
So many things on my mind
Words and music go around in my head
I can't seem to leave you behind

I push you away but I'm wasting my time
I can't understand why I'm trying
I'm telling myself that I really feel fine
But I know there's a part of me dying
Putting my new song together

I just don't see it would do any good
Don't need another song to remind me
That when I close my eyes
And you'll be standing right there
It feels like you're always behind me

I hope one day I will see you again
And then I won't be writing a sad song
Till then I'll spend my time at the end of the line
Just hoping that you want me to turn on
Baby, baby, don't make it too long

Putting my new song together, yeah
Putting my new song together
Putting my new song together, yeah
