I Am Not A Poet (night Song) Lyrics

I Am Not A Poet (night Song) lyrics

I am not a poet, living is the poem 
I am not a singer, I am in the song

And I've got a story that I cannot write down 
And I'm with you but I'll
always be alone 
I may not be right, but I don't think I am wrong


Every note's an answer, every word's a sign 
Every man's a dancer,
following his own time 
I've found a tearful language that translates what I
am 
And I cried out loud, but they didn't understand 
I cried so hard I
may never try again 
I may never try, I may never try again


Cleansing in the water, heal me in the light 
Mend you ageless
daughter, I've been awake all night 
'Cause if your sands are shifting, I'll
need to know what I forgot 
I don't want much, but I need an awful lot


I've found a tearful language that translates what I am 
And I cried
out loud, but you didn't understand 
I cried so hard I may never try again

I may never try, I may never die again 

I may never cry again 
I
may never try again 
I may never die again

STONEGROUND WORDS


Sand me down to the nerve 
Made to live on stouneground words

Imagine that, you've done all that 
And I come back for more 
Imagine
that, I lived on that 
And I will live for more 

I entered dancing and
looked for my partner 
I thought the path could be a double road 
You
played my heart like a drum beating warning 
Oh, I guess I'm gonna dance
this one alone 

I'll go to the garden that follows the seasons 
Live
in the field where the healing grass grows 
Go to the mountains where air's
clear for breathing 
Clear is just another way to see 
I feel to know


Cleanse in the ocean, bathe in the power 
Live with the sea and I
rise for the tide 
Go to the place where the water will bring me 
I'm the
rivers lover, but I'll be the oceans bride 

And they sand me down to the
nerve 
Make me live on stouneground words 
Imagine that, you've done all
that 
And I come back for more 
Imagine that, I lived on that 
And I
will live for more

SONG OF THE SOUTH, BASED ON A THEME FROM 
SONG OF
THE NORTH ADAPTED FROM THE ORIGINAL 

Let it flow 
Let it flow 
Let
it go into the sea with me in it 

Let it fly 
Let it fly 
Let it
glide into the sky with me up there 

With me, with me up there 
With
me up there, with me up there 
Repeat 
Maybe you're hurt, maybe you cried
in love 
Maybe you're living too rough 
Maybe you're giving too much

Maybe the people want more 
Maybe you're askin' "what for,"
"what for" 

Oh, do da day 

Let it snow 
Let it snow

Let it fall unto the ground and cover me 
Let it fall unto the ground
and cover me 

Maybe it's wrong 
Maybe it's right tonight 
Maybe
we'll open the door 
Maybe it's opened before 
Maybe you're giving too
much 
Maybe you're living too rough 

Oh, do day day 
Repeat


Maybe the people want more 
Maybe you're asking what for 

Oh,
do da day 
Oh, do da day

MAYBE I WAS (A GOLF BALL)

I'm so tired
that I can't sleep,
I already read the Bible inner deep
The preacher keeps
me on my knees
To wander and to travel
And to sleep when I am
able

Maybe I was an old path
Maybe I was a raincloud
Maybe I was a
mountain inside of Russia
Maybe I was a good road
Maybe I was a
secret
Maybe I was a river flowing in Russia.

But I'm so tired and I
can't sleep,
I already read the Bible inner deep
A preacher keeps me on
my knees
To wander and to travel
And to sleep when I am able.
