Set Your Love Free

Set Your Love Free

As a violin cannot play

without the bow having its way

the notes born 

from them between the two

making music 

just for me and you

Say not that we do not love 

that beautiful and delicate sound

without the ease of the stroke

upon key for key

making music 

just for you and me

Say that the violin plays very well

with another bow

smooth silky and slow

like a new love 

strong and free

making music 

for you and me

Forget not the first

as if the threads were to burst

a lone and lonely soul

missing it's soul mate

now silent and acquaint

no longer with love

with you or me
