Sounds Like: _______________________________________________________

the music pours out of tears
life is unexplained
if you put on different glasses
if you chant a different phrase
if you sing a different song
if you take a different medicine
if you dance a different dance
everything changes

the music pours out of tears
it's been a long time
since any love opened anywhere
and it won't open here
it will crawl like a rattlesnake
across the road to a shore
it will find itself
in a piano, a voice, a shout
a silence

no man's land
wind, colors, stars
the one who has lived alone.

(c) 2006 de Vie
