Piano

She plays a song,her favorite one,her favorite one she plays, In bright time of afternoon, She plays to ease,she plays to calm the ravaging monster in her, Afar,she remembers her companions,her companions she remembered, Her companions,three,three sailing ships with no destination, Three ships with one sail,one mast, Crestfallen she plays,she plays crestfallen, Her companions: one a warrior that stands on his own,one a fool that works efficiently,the other is an old age that will never age, In bright time of afternoon, She plays a song,her favorite one,her favorite one she plays, And she is a work man,a work man with a lot of weaknesses, She plays to ease,she plays to calm the ravaging monster in her, In the dark of night she still plays,she plays in the dark of night, An old breeze,a long companion visits her, In the quietude of the night, Her long companion,the old breeze calls for it's children "come one,come two give her your gifts" "give her your gifts so she may rest" Pitter-patter above her head,when their gifts flow,the bullfrogs will croak,the Lilies will float, As she plays a song,her favorite one,her favorite one she plays, This song she plays,she plays on her piano, Old and rickety,but plays like home,piano, "Rest work man,work man rest,stop playing,stop playing,leave the song for tomorrow" "Forget about your companions,forget the companions " "Think of me as of now,forget about the song " At last the song,her favorite one,her favorite one comes to an end, Although the song has come to an end, Her old and rickety home,piano, Will always belong to her.
