]]> I found enough drafts of “hurtin’ songs” in Pamela’s manuscripts to make a file of them. She wrote for her own personal therapy, and most won’t get published. By the time (2013) she wrote this gem, however, she could distill her pain into a few words, a good hook, an essential bridge, and the clever device of addressing the “other woman”. Chords are mine, but as an old bandmate observed, Pam and I had a similar sense of harmony. – HH

Here’s Miranda Lever singing it, as part of a project to get Pam’s songs out into the world, off paper and onto video so people can hear them, and maybe sing them, too. Sheet music is below the video.

Lyrics

While he was sleeping there with you

It’s been hard to say I’m sorry
for what I had to do.
I somehow saw within your face
a hidden dream come true.
I couldn’t stay forever
but did you have a clue
I’d be walking away
while he was sleeping there with you.

I had no way to tell you
’bout how bad it could be.
But you are not me either
and that much I could see.
I was drawing strength within myself
but his mind was blind to truth,
that I could walk away
while he was sleeping there with you.

I hear a cry of innocence
I hear a cry of pain
I hear a cry of “How could this
be coming round again?”
I haven’t got your answers,
and my own are much too few,
all I can say is that I had to go
while he was sleeping there with you.

All I can say is that I had to go
while he was sleeping there with you.

]]> They say that if you’re looking for love, you should make a list of what you want in an ideal partner.

So Pam made it into sultry song.

She never, to my knowledge, recorded it. I found it handwritten in a notebook along with many other original songs that amazed me as I emptied her apartment.

Lyrics

A Recipe for Love

A recipe for love, that’s what I’m looking for,
A recipe for love.
I want to find me a real yummy cookin’ one
So I’m writing me a recipe for love.

I want a man who knows how to flavor sweetness in my mouth
With depth and richness that can bring me to my knees.
I want a man who knows how to hold my soul within his hands,
And breathe on me life-giving breath please.

A man who knows hunger,
A man who knows satisfaction,
A man who knows how to join me in harmony,

I want a man who knows how to carry fire without getting burnt
Cause fire’s what you’ll be getting from me.

I know you’re out there
I feel your heart getting closer
I know you’re lookin’ for me.
So when your hunger is ready for satisfaction,
You’ve got my recipe.
