SPEAK TO ME

Words by John Mazurkiewicz/Music by Philip Romano

Your body was still warm and yet your soul had flown away
Before your heart could have its chance to have the final say
Another Unsolved Mystery cut short by Father Time
Music with no lyrics, a tune without a rhyme

Who and why and when and how are really no excuse
A thousand pea-brained nitwits found a way to "cut footloose"
Another moved ahead while several hundred stayed behind
Isn't it a tragedy that everyone can't find (a way to)

Speak to me, before you fly away,
Let me hear the message that was neatly tucked away
Speak to me, before your heartbeat stops,
Speak to me, don't let the music stop

Struggling to make ends meet can drain even the strong
Many things conspire to distract us from our songs
Another decade drifts away as sands drop through the glass
No one cares how many lives were cut off at the pass

All along the road we find the wreckage of their dreams
Listen past the whispers we can hear the muted screams
Another weenie on the fire burning to a crisp
No one hears the message that's delivered with a lisp (they hear the lisp)

Speak to me, before you fly away,
Let me hear the message that was neatly tucked away
Speak to me, before your heartbeat stops,
Speak to me, don't let the music stop

I see your lifeless shape and it's moving me to tears
I think about the music that you made they'll never hear
Another voice of reason crashing up against the shore
Only a musician knows what's buried in the score

(Chorus and repeat and fade)
