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

Back to the contest!!
