Songwriter's Lament |
| Lend me your ears and I’ll sing you a song |
| I’ll show you my hands, just to prove I was wrong |
| Freed from the bondage of this evil land |
| Does not really show off, but does what he can |
| An old man lay dying, lay still on his bed |
| His songs were behind him — his songs they were dead |
| Lost were his meanings, lost were his songs |
| And so far behind him, and now they were gone |
| His tunes had no meanings, just lost in his head |
| His thoughts and his thinking, maybe were dead |
| A curse, which was evil, had ruined this poor man |
| 'Cos no-one believd him — could not understand |
| His mind, it was tattered |
| His pn wrote the songs |
| Just to learn by his readings |
| His mind just goes… |
