She Sings Songs Without Words

I was thrown on the cobblestones, tossed at her feet

My fool's mouth was filled with the dust from the street

An out of work court jester with nowhere to go

And no need to speak, for she seemed to know

She sings the songs without words

Songs that sailors, and blind men, and beggars have heard

She knows more of love than the poets can say

And her eyes are for something that won't go away

This mad mocking town, and its dishonored guest

Disappeared in the colors that danced on her dress

She led me to safety in a forest of green

And showed my stale eyes some sights never seen

She sings the songs without words

Songs that sailors, and blind men, and beggars have heard

She knows more of love than the poets can say

And her eyes are for something that won't go away

She spins magic and moonlight in her meadows and streams

And seeks deep inside me and touches my dreams

The morning comes smiling and I laugh with no sound

And snuggle in silence and the sweet peace I've found

And she sings the songs without words

Songs that sailors, and blind men, and beggars have heard

She knows more of love than the poets can say

And her eyes are for something that won't go away

No they won't go away

Go away
