Backstory:

I had this hook, Heart Runs Dry, and most of the chorus written. I brought it into Sarah and Sydney, who both have beautiful voices. Together they weaved this beautiful melody over the lyrics. This song placed second in the Music City Songstar competition this year.

Lyrics:

                                                  
Heart Runs Dry
Sydney St George (BMI)/Sarah Spencer (ASCAP)/John Cirillo (ASCAP)

I’ve given you everything I had
All I’d stored up inside
Threw every word off my tongue
To an empty, careless sky

I poured out my soul
Into a bottomless well,
Trade pennies for my thoughts
And the secrets that I tell

And it all feels like

This train’s running off the tracks
I’m watching thunderclouds collide
The moon and the sun cross paths
And I can’t control the tides
I’m thirsting for your love
While the hunger in you dies
I’m here sitting with the silence,
As my heart runs dry

All the lonely 2 am’s
And the losing track of time
the phone that never rings
And the words refuse to rhyme

All the talks with my mother
About where I go from here
And she’s running out answers,
And I’m running out of years

This train’s running off the tracks
I’m watching thunderclouds collide
The moon and the sun cross paths
And I can’t control the tides
I’m thirsting for your love
While the hunger in you dies
I’m here sitting with the silence,
As my heart runs dry
