The Right Words
The right words eventually come--they do
Words from the deep form the song I sing
They don't come easily, yet they break through
Drop enough of them, and they might ring
Words from the deep form the song I sing
Never as dreamy and pretty as yours
Drop enough of them, and they might ring
They might fly away, or bust down the doors
Never as dreamy and pretty as yours
Dredged up words from dark depths buried deep
They might fly away, or bust down the doors
Words freed like water I no longer keep
Dredged up words from dark depths buried deep
The good, bad and ugly things I should know
Words freed like water I no longer keep
Works, not of art, merely written for show
The, good, bad and ugly things I should know
They don't come easily, yet they break through
Works, not of art, merely written for show
The right words eventually come--they do
