This week, I’ve written a song about writing a song:
It began with a sigh
As I struggled to write
The beginning to this very piece
It began with a sigh
As I asked why, oh why
Would I choose to do something like this
It began with a sigh
As I typed and I cried
These words just won’t flow together
It began with a sigh
As I looked to the sky
And thought just do it!
It’s now or never
As the words flow and creation grows
And the letters link together
It’s now or never
Now or never
Now or never
As the page fills imagination thrills
It starts to come together
Yes, together
I began with a sigh
As I struggled to write
Anything to fill this space
I began with a sigh
As I said my oh my
It’s only a song for goodness sake
I began with a sigh
As I typed and I cried
Will things ever come together
I began with a sigh
As I looked to the sky
And thought well, it’s now or never
As the words flow and creation grows
And the letters link together
It’s now or never
Now or never
Now or never
As the page fills imagination thrills
It starts to come together
Yes, together
It was the sigh that started the words to evolve
To appear from the ether’s edge
To fill the page
Of a journey’s tale
From the beginning to the end
And without the sigh
The tale’s a lie
As without it it wouldn’t exist
But because of the sigh
This is why
These words now exist forever
As the words flow and creation grows
And the letters link together
It’s now or never
Now or never
Now or never
As the page fills imagination thrills
It starts to come together
Yes, together
As the words flow and creation grows
And the letters link together
It’s now or never
The page filled and imagination thrilled
As in the end
Everything
Came together
Whether Katherine Jenkins, or Susan Boyle and Elaine Paige, or One Direction, or that opera busker I saw the other week will actually sing this song is another thing entirely. Actually, seeing it put to music first would be a bonus.
Ah, well.
I don’t think I’ll be writing another song for quite some time to come… but this was an experience, all the same.
