It Was Music

from Box Elder by Larry Hirshberg

about

If this was the last song I ever wrote...

lyrics

It was music, it was music
That made him try
It was music, it was music
Just passing by

Was the words, the way they spoke
Descriptions of the ground below
The boxcar wheel, the curving track
The melody that bent his back

It was music, it was music
That made him try
It was music, it was music
That made him sigh

The rhythm slow, almost not there
The line about her yellow hair
And the drums and the bass
And the emptiness about the place

The two AM, The rainy street
Reflections of, echoes repeat
And on a hill, an owl hides
Eventually downhill he glides

It was music, it was music
That made him try
It was music, it was music
That made him fly

Was the night, when he was small
The way the summer gave way to fall
He slept the woods, he walked the sky
Uncomfortable, not knowing why…

It was music, it was music
That made him try
It was music, it was music
That made him lie
It was music, it was music
That made him try
It was music, it was music
That made him try
