Your Title After the Song
You never had a pauper's
chance
You gave your heart for fuguish romance
And now you're wondering where the
music went
Who will hum the tune, now the echoes
are spent
It's been years since you were moved
in that fevered trance
Oh, it just seems so quiet, after the
dance
Strong are the steps of
the foolish and young
Fragile the melodies in
your own muted tongue
There's much to hear before the silence
is broken
By those who still listen when the
last word's been spoken
For all my good reason
I fear the rhyme is a token
and the beat...after the song takes too long
oh, the time ... after the song takes
too long
