I Thought I Knew a Thousand Songs
I thought I knew a thousand songs
The rhythm of a million cuts
The beat of a hundred wrongs
But the refrain that lingers is not as I believed
Not the drama nor the joy
But loss
A hollow echo of life’s tattoo
I thought I knew a thousand songs
But really there’s only one
And love is all, she said.
