about

song about missing someone. on a real harpsichord lol

lyrics

Robert Frost
picks up a pen
on the white sheet the words
fall into place again

and like Robert
i try to speak
about the road through the woods
the path to the sea

but of the one
i can not sing
even Robert Frost
can not speak


when Herman Melville
went to sea
even Moby Dick
couldn't read

the shape of clouds calligraphy
the writing on on my mind,
the farewell words
i couldn't believe

but of the one
i can not sing
even Herman Melville
does not speak


what Walt Whitman
said to me
in the letter that he sent
was a comfort

and like Walt
i tried to read
a face in a picture
a voice , a memory

but of the one
i can not sing
even Walt Whitman
did not speak
