Lyrics:
The Poet Sings

need you inside my heart Peace is a word we teach A place for us all to reach Sing as it sings to you as it sings to me As I will always need you inside

railway station, got a ticket for my destination On a tour of one-night-stands, my suitcase and guitar at hand And every stop is neatly planned for a poet

? If you have to face cold hungry days and sighing What good is love? If life's just a race to keep your heart from crying Let the poet sing of skies

knew I should have written, written things down I always say I'll never forget Who can forget a one-eyed pilot Who's a concert pianist, ah A painter, a poet

quick I found a house to live (keep out the weather) I'm blind and I'm sick I heard the sound of thunder In the place where all the poets sing I couldn

me to blame, ohh, ohh, ohh, ooh Picture frame, books and shelves, not afraid by myself Metal strings, glowing tubes, Bessie Smith sings the blues Key and lock, dirty clothes, misunderstood poets

you cryin' in the rain Yea I'm your lover (I'm your lover) Ohh ohh I'm your lover (Your lover) A ring a ling, ting a ling lover (Your lover) A sing

me a man who's gentle and kind And I'll show you a loser Now, show me a man who takes what he wants Oh, how exciting Oh, how exciting So the poet sings

day the music died I started singing "Bye, bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry And good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye Singing
