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

rate me

I am not a poet, living is the poem

I am not a singer, I am in the song

And I've got a story that I cannot write down

And I'm with you but I'll always be alone

I may not be right, but I don't think I am wrong

Every note's an answer, every word's a sign

Every man's a dancer, following his own time

I've found a tearful language that translates what I am

And I cried out loud, but they didn't understand

I cried so hard I may never try again

I may never try, I may never try again

Cleansing in the water, heal me in the light

Mend you ageless daughter, I've been awake all night

'Cause if your sands are shifting, I'll need to know what I forgot

I don't want much, but I need an awful lot

I've found a tearful language that translates what I am

And I cried out loud, but you didn't understand

I cried so hard I may never try again

I may never try, I may never die again

I may never cry again

I may never try again

I may never die again

STONEGROUND WORDS

Sand me down to the nerve

Made to live on stouneground words

Imagine that, you've done all that

And I come back for more

Imagine that, I lived on that

And I will live for more

I entered dancing and looked for my partner

I thought the path could be a double road

You played my heart like a drum beating warning

Oh, I guess I'm gonna dance this one alone

I'll go to the garden that follows the seasons

Live in the field where the healing grass grows

Go to the mountains where air's clear for breathing

Clear is just another way to see

I feel to know

Cleanse in the ocean, bathe in the power

Live with the sea and I rise for the tide

Go to the place where the water will bring me

I'm the rivers lover, but I'll be the oceans bride

And they sand me down to the nerve

Make me live on stouneground words

Imagine that, you've done all that

And I come back for more

Imagine that, I lived on that

And I will live for more

SONG OF THE SOUTH, BASED ON A THEME FROM

SONG OF THE NORTH ADAPTED FROM THE ORIGINAL

Let it flow

Let it flow

Let it go into the sea with me in it

Let it fly

Let it fly

Let it glide into the sky with me up there

With me, with me up there

With me up there, with me up there

Repeat

Maybe you're hurt, maybe you cried in love

Maybe you're living too rough

Maybe you're giving too much

Maybe the people want more

Maybe you're askin' "what for," "what for"

Oh, do da day

Let it snow

Let it snow

Let it fall unto the ground and cover me

Let it fall unto the ground and cover me

Maybe it's wrong

Maybe it's right tonight

Maybe we'll open the door

Maybe it's opened before

Maybe you're giving too much

Maybe you're living too rough

Oh, do day day

Repeat

Maybe the people want more

Maybe you're asking what for

Oh, do da day

Oh, do da day

MAYBE I WAS (A GOLF BALL)

I'm so tired that I can't sleep,

I already read the Bible inner deep

The preacher keeps me on my knees

To wander and to travel

And to sleep when I am able

Maybe I was an old path

Maybe I was a raincloud

Maybe I was a mountain inside of Russia

Maybe I was a good road

Maybe I was a secret

Maybe I was a river flowing in Russia.

But I'm so tired and I can't sleep,

I already read the Bible inner deep

A preacher keeps me on my knees

To wander and to travel

And to sleep when I am able.
