Sing To Me

PLEASE! Drink of this cup of water and cleanse your vocal chords Clear your airways and pull from within a ballad of true discord Nothing fancy, soft, or melodious for me Hey! Just sing the 'ole blues' that you see Yes! Go straight to the point and make it plain No! No sunshine for me, just the sound of lingering rain Sing to me! Sing a tune that I can relate to Please! Sing it clearly, you know I'd do the same for you Sing to me! Not fast but very slow Please! Just sing the truth, it doesn't even have to flow Sing to me! Yes, sing in that deep, old melancholic tone Oh! And will you please play? Yes! Play 'til that old guitar and piano moan Like an unforgettable spiritual from the soul a bitter tear here and a sweet tear there, just make me lose control
