"Faraway Sound" is an original, unreleased song that I've been rehearsing for an upcoming gig so I thought I'd share it with the  #Steemit Open Mic community. It's a song about love, and loss, and liberation with an #astronomy lesson, and a bit of #French language in the mix to keep the #song police guessing. This is my first official, original #openmic submission so please let me know what you think of this tune in the comments!

Seen my little baby
Seen her turn away
Watched my lover leaving
On a winter's day
When a raindrop hits the sidewalk
It makes a tiny crown
When a teardrop hits the sidewalk
It makes a faraway sound

Met my little baby 
On the day of the eclipse
Thought to myself maybe, Joe 
You could kiss those secret lips
When a black shadow's cast across the sun
There's no shadow on the ground
And the shadow of your lover leaving
Makes a faraway sound

Ma cherie est la mer
Ma cherie est le soleil et la lune 
Elle est printemps, elle est l'automne 
Elle est Septembre, elle est jeune 

My dear is the sea
My dear is the sun and the moon
She is springtime, she is autumn
She is September, she is young

Seen my little baby 
Smiling in a dream
Like a stack of bullets 
In a black magazine
And a dream it ain't nothin' but a slave
Whose bonds have come unbound
And a slave when he's rushing through the rushes
Makes a faraway sound
