Inspired by a lovely compliment I received today, I'm posting these song lyrics, which appear in the book
If there are any musicians out there, I'm looking for music for this song.....
Words come so easy to one such as you
When words flow with ease, they don't need to be true
Creating a world, a fictitous story
Becoming a God in your kingdom of glory
Your words are so empty, be they written or spoken
These words can't make love, and our love is broken
A wonderful hero, a spectacular mind
Words upon words, no substance behind
But here in the real world, words aren't enough
They give no support, when the going gets tough
Your words are so empty, be they written or spoken
Your words can't heal love, our love is so broken
Here in the land of the living and breathing
Reality's hard, there are mouths that need feeding
Actions speak louder than words in this life
Your actions destroyed us, they cut like a knife
Your words are so empty, be they written or spoken
These words can't save love, and our love is broken
Promises promises, I've heard them for years
Words and more words, they fall on deaf ears
Empty and void, your words are so shallow
No longer ring true, they are empty and hollow
Your words are so empty, be they written or spoken
These words can't heal love, our love is so broken
So I listen no more to the romantic dream
I can take it no longer, your words make me scream
So go forth and conquer, imaginary knight
Find another young mind, your words to excite
Your words are so empty, be they written or spoken
These words won't save love, our love it is broken
Write some more words, but leave me in peace
Keep living your dreamland, just give me release
Further and further, you're fading away
You ran and you hid, left me in today
Your words are so empty, be they written or spoken
These words can't heal love, our love is so broken
Linguistic expression can't repair what you've done
Run along to your tart now, for my love has gone....
note: Inspired by the 1992 song of the same name, by Madonna
