Keith Dovoric Poet Lyric

Sweeter Song

for C. and D.) 

I talked to you about five minutes today
Tomorrow, if we’re lucky, try for ten
Seems like one of us is always
Headed in the opposite way
En route to his own destination

Time don't care much for us --
Time turns a deaf ear --
Time tunes out the debate between right and wrong
But as we come to the chorus
And know the end is near,
Realize we coulda been singin’ a sweeter song

I walked past the closed door of your room
And hoped to hear the secrets stored in there 
Though the inner-voice we talk to
To penetrate the gloom
Is something that we’re never willing to share

Time don't care much for us --
Time turns a deaf ear --
Time tunes out the struggles of weak and strong
But as we come to the chorus
And know the end is near,
Realize we coulda been singin’ a sweeter song

I sing my sad song from my underworld:
From this yawning chaos, let love live
And if I should turn around,
And ill forces strike you down,
For my singing, let the stones forgive 

No, Time don't care much for us --
Time turns a deaf ear --
Time tuned out our conversations all along
But as we come to the chorus
And know the end is near,
Realize we coulda been singin’ a sweeter song

Yeah, know we coulda been playin’ a sweeter song.
