the songs that nobody wrote
the songs that nobody wrote
by R
here are the poems
and what they all spoke
here are the songs
that nobody wrote
here are the lovers
lost in their heads
here is the promise
I should never have said
you sound like a hero
you're my favorite, you know
I'll tell you I love you
ten times in a row
tell me about your family
in the key of G
you have uncles of
basses
much better than me
cousins of tubas
from your Canadian side
also your sister , Xylophone
who came along for the
ride
you never need money
you all live on clouds and and sweet songs
a beautiful story
about where people belong.
don't explain anything
please, let me guess
you won't take my confessions
&
you know the rest
I'm Beethoven and Elliot
I'm king of the air
We'll end up in somewhere
that never was there.
