lyrics

Composer


The eyes of the composer they become electric as the song slowly opens, itself in front of him, shining in new skin, as soft as any baby's.
The hands of the composer lovingly run over the contours of his new gift ,and he turns it and he twists it, he beats it with his fist it's slowly taking shape


Then he leans a little closer, to his song and whispers in it's ear "Please have no fear"...


and into it he pours all his energies and all his love for beauty.
Stories from his heart, and pictures from his head and words stolen from others. Whatever it might take, to shake them both awake and give their eyes their sparkle

Then he leans a little closer, to his song and whispers in it's ear "Please have no fear"...

This isn't a song for the dancefloors
it may never hang on your wall
but it won't ever beg for approval
or weep for your applause

No this isn't a song for your dancefloors,
It won't ever hang on your walls,
but when all of your jingles have played out this might still stand tall,
this might still stand tall...

With these words spoken,
composer's eyes closed over
and with both grace and honour
he began to let it go.
