11 Jan 10 - 08:04 PM (#2809579) Subject: Lyr Add: WRITER OF SONGS (Harvey Andrews) From: Sandra in Sydney WRITER OF SONGS by Harvey Andrews from 'Writer of Songs' - first released 1972. CD release by Essex Music Int, no date HASKA CD:003 available from Harvey's website I always wanted to be a someone To climb those mountains that no-one had stood on To tell the world that I'd take it all - on my shoulders. Maybe a writer of books that made me A name in papers that would acclaim me The greatest writers would meet to name me - genius. I'd cover canvas with solid colour Until they'd say that there was no other And old Picasso, he'd call me his brother and friend. I'd build the bridges, the ships and the towers I'd be Frank Lloyd Wright, with Brunel's powers And I would think of designs for hours each day. But they ignored my greatest writing They scorned my painting, said it was frightening Told me my buildings would fall to lightning - and rain. Soon they were saying I was a failure That I'd never make it, I should be a tailor Or failing that try the sea as a sailor of boats So let others paint now, their touch is lighter Some other author can become the great fighter I'll be content just to be a writer of songs. And some will love them and others will hate them And I'll just hope that someone will rate them And maybe someday, investigate them - seriously. |
