We Do What We Do

about

Dave writes: this is for the second round of Song Fu #6. Our challenge was to write a song that doesn't rhyme. Repeated lines were allowed, and we made full use of them.

It's a little odd, in that it bounces back and forth between rhythms in the verses and the chorus. Perhaps it's not conventional, but I like it.

This was a personal challenge for me, as I have never played drums before and I was determined to do this one live. Mission accomplished.

lyrics

LYRICS
---------

June is within me
Yet June is without
So what do I do
So what do I do

Capture the moment
Or withdraw from the fight
I do what I do
I do what I do

There are times... when I think I should have left here
Took... to the road all alone
Erased... the tracks my feet left here in the dirt
And never look back
And never look back

A leaf in the Springtime
A blossom in Summer
They do what they do
They do what they do

In Autumn they die
To be carried away in the wind...
It do what it do...

There are times... I never should have left there
Took... to the road all alone
Erased... the tracks my feet left there in the dirt
And never look back
And never look back

[instrumental – almost same as chorus]

Winter provides
The snow and the cold
It do what it do
It do what it do

Along comes the Spring
Then June is there waiting for me...
She do what she do...

There are times.... when I gently kiss her
It seems to me... the seasons move to fast
I know... someday June will up and leave me
And never look back
And never look back

We do what we do
We do what we do
We do what we do
We do what we do
We do what we do
