Eddie Mugavero: music
WHITTLIN'
(Written by Eddie Mugavero & Anna Scala-Sung by Cathryn Craig)
Anna had the title and the chorus melody-I heard it and loved it and wrote the verse melody and lyrics-I think it's a cool tune, especially when it begins modulating down, which is unusual.
WHITTLIN’
LIKE A BRANCH FROM AN OLD OAK TREE
I FELL FOR YOU, YOU FELL FOR ME
NATURE GAVE US SOMETHING GOOD
SO WE TOOK THAT PIECE OF WOOD
PATIENTLY WE CUT AND CARVED
CHISLED TIL WE FOUND OUR HEARTS
SHAVED THE EDGES THAT WERE ROUGH
AND SHAPED IT INTO LOVE..
WHITTLIN’ WHITTLIN’ WHITTLIN' DOWN
WHITTLIN’ WHITTLIN’ OUR LOVE DOWN
WHITTLIN’ TIL TRUE LOVE’S FOUND
WHITTLIN’
WE CARVED OURSELVES A PERFECT MATCH
PEACE OF HEART BUILT FROM SCRATCH
SIMPLE LOVE YET SO REFINED
TO YOURS AND MY DESIGN
LATHING AWAY TO THE POINT OF TRUST
BLADES OF FAITH WILL NEVER RUST
THE PIECES DON’T GET SWEPT AWAY
WE LEARN FROM THEM EACH DAY…
WHITTLIN’……
