Two Notes And A Beat - The Lonely Forest

Oh last night I dreamt a magnificent thing

I held you close I heard you sing

Your voice was what I’d always wanted in a woman

I know you say he’s good to you and I’m sure he is

But darling he’s all you’ll ever know

Unless you trust your heart and let yourself grow

If your skin was the ocean I’d sprint to your shore

I’d wade in your shallows, alleviate my core

If you hair was the fir tree all hollow inside

With peace I would slumber

Gripping this pen

Cliff over water

Envisioning drums in rhythmic salute

Poetry craftwork is tough I won’t bother

But pull simple rhymes from the dirt

Who’d refute?

All I really need are two notes and a beat

All I really need are two notes and a beat

To sing to you my heart it’s a great place to start

D to a G

Swift as a bird

Muscles remembering artless, absurd

And modest attempts at creating a mood

With these thin metal strings my affection construe

Gripping this pen

Cliff over water

Envisioning drums

Poetry craftwork is tough I won’t bother

But pull simple rhymes…

All I really need are two notes and a beat

All I really need are two notes and a beat

To sing to you my heart it’s a great place to start
