Solo

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
