11. The singer

I went to hear you sing last night
And you moved me to tears
I went to hear a folk singer and I
Found a modern seer

And before I’d realised
You had taken my life and analysed
Everything that I had prized
But it’s all right by me
Yes it’s all right you see
’Cos you’re the singer
And I’m only a listener
To your song

You held me with your words last night
And I saw what could be done
Where words and music interflow
The spirit’s free to run

And you must have toiled so long
To share yourself in song
And there’ll be those who say you’re wrong…
