IT'S ONLY MUSIC

Don't look too far
You can find it everywhere
You can lose it without warning
If you grab on too tight
Or try to read too much into it
You know it's only music-

That song-that song
The one you hear inside at night
It can send you reeling-that song
It's just your own heart beating
But it can sound like a symphony-

You can hear a voice so clear
You can't tell what it's saying
Well maybe you know
That tune you hear might never end-

I thought that I heard you singing
at night
You know I had the feeling
That I've heard that song
Way beyond this life without beginning-

Who knows the name of that song?
Go broke and come back singing
Since the world appeared
Can't write it down
'Cause it doesn't spell
And it doesn't end-

In the still-the still of the night
When the wind is quiet-quiet and still
I sit inside the empty room
And wait to hear the tune
That comes through the mazes
Writ on empty pages-

Well I know we'll never get that song
quite right
But still we're singing
Well I know ten thousand tunes are
captured there
That much I know-

Blue sun under the clouds
The smoke of wrack and ruin
Someone waits beneath the roses
Playing guitar-playing for me-
Where I don't see-

Don't look too far
You can find it most anywhere
But you can lose it without a warning
If you grab on too tight
Try to read too much into it
You know it's only music-
Don't try too hard
It will come to you
Yes it will
