"SONGWRITER'S LAMENT"

Lend me your ears and I’ll sing you a song
I’ll show you my hands, just to prove I was wrong
Freed from the bondage of this evil land
Does not really show off, but does what he can

An old man lay dying, lay still on his bed
His songs were behind him – his songs they were dead
Lost were his meanings, lost were his songs
And so far behind him, and now they were gone

 His tunes had no meanings, just lost in his head
His thoughts and his thinking, maybe were dead
A curse, which was evil, had ruined this poor man
‘Cos no-one believеd him – could not understand  

His mind, it was tattered
His pеn wrote the songs
Just to learn by his readings
His mind just goes…
