A Silenced Symphony By the Sea
A SILENCED SYMPHONY BY THE SEA
I recall when we first sang that song
And danced from twilight until the sun
As for me we couldn’t have danced too long
As I freely floated and you sensually spun
You sang lead and I the backup harmony
A symphony composed by only you and me
The theme was a sonata sanctified by the sea
And so I thrilled to my dancer’s decree
“hold me closer and tighter my dear”
Those were the lyrics I penned for you
“let thy words draw me ever near”
And thus the melody did that which it was meant to do
When I scribed those words they seemed so real
And “eternal” was a concept I suddenly understood
But by the orchestration was I taught how to feel
As destiny and perpetuity have done all they could
Now due to you I can no longer sing that song
Nor can I listen to it any more
The rhythm’s off and the lyrics are wrong
Since I wrote the words but you ruined the score
