Music Does This

Music says

"Hello dear,

 Come away with me now."

Music does

What we fear 

Opens up our hearts to

All the things we thought 

We didn't want to feel again

It tells our darkest thoughts

That we wanted to forget 

Music locks us up in the chords reply

Syllables stroke 

Beyond our souls and minds

From the way our eyes grow larger 

To the way we move our hands

I knew out of all the people 

That you would understand

How music does this

And I said:

"Music does this to me, 

I didn't mean to cry and call,

But somehow the melody takes me away, 

 Rising notes are waterfalls,

Raining and rushing in my mind

Baby, don't you agree?

Music does this to me."

Music says

"Hello dear, 

Come away with me now,"

Music does, 

What we fear 

Broken hearts and 

Tender love in a dressing gown

And Music is 

Colorful notes, stringing skin 

And bone and sorrow, 

Children and towns

Hypnotical call to

Our sins, our joys, our bred tomorrows

And music was

Smoothing lines in bearded fellows

And their plans

Music is a crazy, lively chorus

Trees swaying to the marching band

And music wands our form 

From bulk, to feather, to fluid 

 Moves us in shapes we cannot know

And we go home

And we go home

Somehow

Music does this
