Tilting at Windmills

Tilting at Windmills

A Song By Brad Peterson

Also on Apple Music.

Malaprops are often used in my songwriting – this is a fun tune in 9 that strikes my funny bone in it’s playful rhythmic notation and Emerson/Goethe/de Cervantes lyrical nods.

Lyrics:
I dot the Ts and cross the Is
I’m untoward and ostracized
tilting at windmills I can’t standstill 
my fate to be misunderstood
in a misadventured childhood
wrong or right I came out fighting
making mountains of molehills
tilting at windmills I can’t stand still 
Making it up as I go along
One of these times I might get it right
ready, steady, go
Making it up as I go along
One of these times I might get it right
