Need a vocalist/lyricist for this song

I’m looking for a vocalist/lyricist who can help finish this pop/synth song.
So far I’ve got the melody, multitrack music, some lyrics, and almost a finished version of the tune.
What I need is someone to take what I’ve got and finish the lyrics, record the vocals at home, transfer them to me on the net as isolated vocals…

Here’s a temporary scratch vocal version.

And the full instrumental version.

Here’s an early version of a vocal track…

http://s93744050.onlinehome.us/mp3/XanaFinalTest.mp3



Basically what I need is someone who’s serious about finishing this vocal for me. I need somebody with a decent mic, home recording software, isolation booth etc…
All royalties etc will be divided depending on how much work is done.

There’s a tutorial on my GuitarTricks pages on how the tune was put together if it’s any help.

Cryptic Excretions knows a thing or two about guitar playing

I don't know about singing. I'm not a singinger type singer. My metal influence has led me to the side of strictly growling and I've only ever practiced singing in the event that I need to let an actual accomplished singer know what I'm getting at. But I really like to write lyrics. I'm willing to do that much, but between my lack of capability and my lack of quality recording, I think it'd be best for your song to stop at lyrics... on my part anyway.

blah... I'm not sure where I am with this tune.
I'm going for a synth/pop type of thing, but when I hear my own lyrics the first thing that comes to mind is "argh...cheeeeeeeeesy".

The lyrics I came up with so far are below, and a recording with some very low vocals in the mix is here:

http://s93744050.onlinehome.us/mp3/XanaFull.mp3

This version below is as far as I got before realizing the song was out of my range:

http://s93744050.onlinehome.us/mp3/XanaFinalTest.mp3

Basically what I need is somebody to finish off writing the last verse and then do the vocals & harmonies.

I had one guy try it but it wasn't quite what I was looking for.

Here's my lyrics.
If anybody can improve on em, go for it.
Arrows indicate lines I'd like to toss out.

Don't Take Your Love Away
Copyright 2005 K. Taylor/Schmange Music U.K./Canada

Verse 1

You and me
Walking slowly hand in hand
Alone, we'll be
Falling for each other
Going all the way
Waiting for another rainy day, away <<<<
Waiting for the sun <<<

Verse 2

Won't you stay with me
Help me rediscover
All the days away
Lazy days of summer
You were holding me
Talking talk <<<<
And then you walked away
I gave you everything

Chorus
Why don't you take my hand
And walk away
Don't take your love away
Take my hand
Don't break my heart
Don't take your love away

Verse 3

----------------
----------------
----------------
----------------

Repeat chorus and fade

I'd "improve on" your lyrics, but then it would probably be about something dumb, like a zombie attack on the mall. Speaking of which, I'm gonna go write a song about that right now.
