Melanie - I Am Not A Poet (Night Song) lyrics

rate me

I am not a poet, living is the poem <br />

I am not a singer, I am in the song <br />

And I've got a story that I cannot write down <br />

And I'm with you but I'll always be alone <br />

I may not be right, but I don't think I am wrong <br />

<br />

Every note's an answer, every word's a sign <br />

Every man's a dancer, following his own time <br />

I've found a tearful language that translates what I am <br />

And I cried out loud, but they didn't understand <br />

I cried so hard I may never try again <br />

I may never try, I may never try again <br />

<br />

Cleansing in the water, heal me in the light <br />

Mend you ageless daughter, I've been awake all night <br />

'Cause if your sands are shifting, I'll need to know what I forgot <br />

I don't want much, but I need an awful lot <br />

<br />

I've found a tearful language that translates what I am <br />

And I cried out loud, but you didn't understand <br />

I cried so hard I may never try again <br />

I may never try, I may never die again <br />

<br />

I may never cry again <br />

I may never try again <br />

I may never die again
