Words without music
Are like sunset without dawn
For what do the words all mean
If there's no way to sing them
So I try to write the music
For the words I hear each day
But how can I find a
Melody if there's none
But in every word I hear there's hope
That there's a melody inside
And I can turn it into song
Maybe I'm doing something wrong
For many days there's nothing there
Only the cold forbidding air
I can't find the words I want to say
I guess they don't matter anyway
I don't look back
There's nothing there
The only things I see are
Words without music
They're like oceans without shores
For how can you sail away
When there's no place to anchor
I like the sailing
And the rhythm of the sea
And somewhere the shore
Is waiting there for me
But meanwhile the melody rolls on
Repeating the chorus of the song
The words are a blur
They seem to say
Things'll get better any day
I wish I could liten to those words
The sound of the music's all I've heard
The beat of the drummer marching on
Reminds me that yesterday is gon
So I don't look back
There's nothing there
The only things I see are
Words without music
They're like actors without plays
For how can they know their part
If there's nothing to say
Oh I like the theater
And the penetrating lights
But the roles I seem to play
Aren't always right
Words without music
Are like sunset without dawn
For what do the words all mean
If there's no way to sing them
So I try to write the music
For the words I hear each day
But how can I find a
Melody if there's none
