Songs That Can’t Be Sung

Just when I thought that everything was done

I found out it had only just begun

Like a shoreline that grows on and on

As an empty night fades into the dawn

Like a song that can’t be sung

I’ve had a hard time knowing what to do

Sure am glad I took a chance on you

Because a lover with no one  

Is like a world not yet begun

Like a song that can’t be sung

Used to be the only songs I could hear

Were the blues of birth

The symphony of all the unfixed wrongs on earth

I learned to make it on my own

You’ve got no choice when you’re all alone

But that all changed the day you came along

Now just a single night can be too much

The secret changes when true lovers touch

The bells of love silent in the air

The bells of life ringing everywhere

All songs that can’t be sung
