The Song

 

I had a long talk

With the musician today

Asked him the thing that

Drives him to play,

He looked at me hard

And he looked at me long

In a wooden like voice

Said it’s simply the song,

The song you hear

With your woman at night

The words that echo

When you’re full of fright,

The rhythm that flows

Through everyone

The drums that beat

When your lover has come,

It’s simply the song

He never smiled but he said

It’s simply the song

That plays in your head.
