LONE SAXOPHONE

I can’t make the memories vanish

Like the fog over the sea

When the sun

It slowly comes

To set the brilliance free

This torn and grieving heart

Beats tenuous at best

I can’t conceive

Its struggle on

When nothing’s left...

~~~*Chorus*~~~

While everyone ooh’s and ah’s

At the forest lush and green

I’m the deep dark cavern

In the mountains you can’t see

While you shout your Bravos

And applaud the symphony

I am a lone saxophone

And the blues are killing me

~~*~~

I've tried to find a substitute

Fill the lifeless shell of me

I lost hope

So long ago

How does a numb heart beat

It should cease to function

Abandoned and bereft

It’s a marvel

To achieve this

When nothing’s left

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~

I don’t begrudge a single soul

The happiness that keeps them whole

And they will never hear me say

That I gave up one single day

My heart will keep on beating

While what's left of me is breathing

As they wonder why I am all alone

Listen

Listen for a lone saxophone

~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~

While everyone ooh’s and ah’s

At the forest lush and green

I’m the deep dark cavern

In the mountains you can’t see

While you shout your Bravos

And applaud the symphony

I am a lone saxophone

And the blues are killing me

~~*~~

Oh Oh Oh …

Lone Saxophone…
