A Song You Cannot Hear

I'm singing
Maybe just to myself
Though I wrote this
For you and no one else
When my lips move
Your head turns
In the opposite direction
My heart beats
On the radar
Flying under your detection
So how can I make it clear?
Shout it out,
Or whisper in your ear?
How can you sing along
To a deeper song
(A song you cannot hear)
A deeper song
(A song you cannot hear)
A deeper song
(A song you cannot hear)
Shadows moving
In between the lines
Figures dancing
Through the chords and rhymes
I pour the drinks and
Set the table
Resigned to starve for
Your attention
The strings swell,
They play the soundtrack
To your knack for indecision
So how do I spell it out
With love strong enough
To assuage your doubt?
And how can you sing along
To a deeper song
(A song you cannot hear)
A deeper song
(A song you cannot hear)
A deeper song
(A song you cannot hear)
If you find
This page on a dusty shelf when
I'm gone,
It's yours, and for no one else
Take a moment
To drink in
The sweet wine of
Love and mercy
Down in the cellar of
These old pages
Behind a door marked
"For The thirsty"
Meanwhile, a mystery,
And maybe not really up to me
To get you to sing along
To a deeper song
(A song you cannot hear)
A deeper song
(A song you cannot hear)
A deeper song
(A song you cannot hear)
A deeper song
(A song you cannot hear)
A deeper song
(A song you cannot hear)
A deeper song
(A song you cannot hear
A deeper song
(A song you cannot hear)
A deeper song
(A song you cannot hear)
