I Am Not a Poet [Night Song] lyrics

I am not a poet, living is the poem

I am not a singer, I am in the song

And I have got a story that I cannot write down

And I'm with you but I'll always be alone

I may not be right, but I don't think I am wrong

No, I don't think I'm wrong

Every note's an answer, every word's a sign

Every man's a dancer, following his own time

I've found a tearful language that translates what I am

And I cried out loud, but they didn't understand

I cried so hard I may never try again

No, I may never try, I may never try again

Cleansing in the water, heal me in the light

Mend your ageless daughter, I've been awake all night

'Cause if your sands are shifting, I'll need to know what I forgot

I don't want much, but I need an awful lot

I've found a tearful language that translates what I am

And I cried out loud, but you didn't understand

I cried so hard I may never try again

I may never try, I may never try again

I may never cry again

I may never try again

I may never die again
