High Art
Music and lyrics by Tracey Leanne Lutz
Background
     I wrote this song after watching the movie High Art for the first time. After watching that film, I was really inspired to write a song, and so I slightly based my writing on the movie, but more I based it on the feeling I got from watching the film.
Lyrics
Verse 1: Hard times are upon us as we reach for our dreams
Hope is beyond us and we rip at the seams
Day turns to night time as I shut my body down
I’d feel much better if you were around
But I don’t hear a sound
No I won’t make a sound
While I weep ‘cause you’re not around

Verse 2: Walk to the doorway and try to lock you out
You’ll get in anyway in my heart there is no doubt
Why are you waiting to be with me?
You should know better, you don’t even need a key
To get to me
To be with me
Come be with me

Instrumental

Verse 3
: Silent lover where have you gone?
I sit here lonely and sing my song
You are the angel who comes to me at night
It’s time to rest now, I’ll give up the fight
And I’ll be with you tonight
I’ll dream of you tonight
I’ll see you up in heaven tonight
Good-bye sweet world, good-bye
