Songs You Sing

Songs You Sing - Beau

I listen to the songs you sing

And understand your every word

Both written down and those unheard

That linger in your memory

They're always there to comfort me

The peace that only words can bring

I listen to the songs you sing

I listen to your music play

An ear you never can deceive

Your quavers and your semibreves

Are played and heard a thousand times

In different ways by different minds

That ponder every word you say

I listen to your music play

The strings vibrate the words resound

The metronomes are keeping time

And analysing every line

The ones who know the ones who see

So far ahead in front of me;

So much is seen so little found

As the strings vibrate and the words resound

I listen to the songs you sing

And understand your every word

Both written down and those unheard

That linger in your memory

They're always there to comfort me

The peace that only words can bring

I listen to the songs you sing
