Hi Southpaw.Good on you for have a go.I also write songs on a non professional basis.
Personally I try to avoid what might be classed as a time worn cliche like" moon and stars"
"deepest seas". The reason you you these is because you heard them before and it seems natural to use them.
maybe think outside the square a little.."how can I say this in a new way?"
Good books "Writing Better Lyrics" by pat Pattison.
"Tunesmith" Jimmy Webb.
Keep at it..lyrics were heartfelt enough just a bit generic.
