Lyrics

WRITING SIMPLE LOVE SONGS
WITH A SMILE UPON MY FACE
I'M WAITING IN ANTICIPATION
THAT EVERYTHING WILL FIND A PLACE
AND AS I SIT HERE NOW
WITH A PEN IN MY HAND
TRYING TO FIND SOME CLEVER RHYME
AND HOPING THE METRE TURNS OUT FINE

BUT THIS IS NOT THE KIND OF SONG THAT I FIND EASY OR CLEAR
THE LYRICS SEEM SO CLUMSY AND THEY NEVER SOUND SINCERE
I'LL TRY TO GO THIRD PERSON, SO THE MEANINGS ARE OBSCURED
BUT THERE'S A CERTAIN CHARM TO TRIPPING UP
AND SPEAKING PLAIN WHEN YOU HIT THE FLOOR!

IN THE HANDS OF THE MASTER POET
THE MEANING SO EASILY COMES
ON THE BANKS OF EXOTIC RIVERS
IN THE LAND OF THE MIDNIGHT SUN
UP THE FACE OF THE HIGHEST MOUNTAINS
AT THE BOTTOM OF THE DEEPEST SEA
SEARCHING FOR WORDS IN THE CALM ABSURD
WHEN THE OUTCOME IS PLAIN TO SEE
