My Song

MY SONG

If I sang you a song
Would you stay and listen
Or would you say afterwards
That the rhythm was missing

What if I bared my soul
And therefore spoke my mind
Would you really hear me
Or say that I'm most unkind

Would you complain
That I was out of tune
Like the eerie moan
Of the wind over the dune

The words sometimes alien
And the rhyme sometimes blue
Or like the coloured rainbow
Each word a different hue

And the song that you hear now
Does it not sound the same
Though the beat has changed now
It's my song with a new name
