Lyric Nominee #3 The Graveyard of Songs For every song that’s written there’s a thousand thrown away They catch a passing breeze and off they fly They spin and shimmer hopefully, some lucky ones are found But most are left to shrivel up and die In the graveyard of songs Where the orphan tune belongs And abandoned melodies are laid to rest What we write is often wrong Some are weak and some are strong And sometimes, at our worst, we’ll send our best To the graveyard of songs The graveyard of songs When my restless heart goes roaming through its misbegotten dreams In search of some forgotten sweet refrain If the minutes turn to hours till the night devours the day I’ll give up the ghost and leave it to remain In the graveyard of songs Where the orphan tune belongs And abandoned melodies are laid to rest What we write is often wrong Some are weak and some are strong Sometimes we even send our very best To the graveyard of songs The graveyard of songs I can fish that flowing river Feel my line rise and shiver Yet never hook the songs I used to play But my battered old guitar Knows exactly where they are It trembles when I let them slip away To the graveyard of songs Where the orphan tune belongs And abandoned melodies are laid to rest What we write is often wrong Some are weak and some are strong And sometimes we commend our very best To the graveyard of songs The graveyard of songs (Copyright 2008 by Mark Kaufman) _________________________ http://www.soundclick.com/MarkKaufmanhttp://twitter.com/Mark_Kaufman
