Solo
solo
like a cocoon hanging’ on
wondering when the wind will
marry you
carry you
on a solo
solo
like a balloon drifts along
whether you wish to land will
worry you
hurry you
on a solo
solo
surely sometime
someone
sang you to sleep
safely secured your slumber
so you wouldn’t feel
alone
no
and when
a solo ends
the tune is
gone
solo
sits like the moon all alone
just like the moon glows
then goes
away at day
who can say
what her heart knows
solo
it’s been a solo
for so long
if only she’d extend
her voice would blend
into music
and then
once in a song
go on
solo
surely sometime
someone
sang you to sleep
safely secured your slumber
so you wouldn’t feel
alone
no
and when a solo ends
the tune is
gone
so
blend
and listen then
you’ll become
the song
