The Singer Who Lost His Song

from THERE'S A PLACE by Séan McCann

lyrics

A Melody lingers in my ear tonite
a lyric ringing loud and clear leads me to the light
it’s the sound of a young heart breaking
behind a mind that’s wound too tight
under skin so hot, it’s ready to ignite
I turn the radio on and i let the DJ drive
when you’re on the Road to Nowhere
it’s hard to stay between the lines
and i see my own Star falling
into the Tick and Tock of Time
looking for a friend i Left behind

and it Goes On and On and On...
but u won’t know what you’re missing til it’s gone
It goes On and On and On...
but there ain’t Nobody listening to
The Singer who Lost his Song

Found a Penny in my pocket
and it asked me for some change
The Sun came up this morning
so i Know it’s bound to Rain
there’s a broken record playing
and i’m haunted by the sound
it keeps my head spinning round and round

and it Goes On and On and On...
but u won’t know what you’re missing til it’s gone
It goes On and On and On...
but there ain’t Nobody listening to
The Singer who Lost his Song

A Melody lingers in my ear tonite
a lyric ringing Loud and Clear
Big and Strong and Bright
It’s the sound of an Old Heart healing
from a wound won in a fight
because i know this time
I’m gonna get it right
yes i know this time i’m gonna get it right

Because it Goes On and On and On...
