Song for the writer
(Mark Irving Anderson)
 
...An empty page, a silent room
A melody just out of reach
A midnight hum, a pencil’s tomb
I chase the words that I can’t speak…
 
…Crumbled paper, scattered dreams
Every dream a leap of faith
Hope reflected in-between
A silent chord a silent wraith…
 
[Chorus]
…This songs for the writer
And the world where he belongs
Where every word will find its mark
Carved forever in his song
It’s for the writer
And the tales he needs to tell
Tracing long lost memories
And the places where they fell
This one’s for the writer…
 
…How does a feeling find its form
A verse begins, a chorus teases
How does thunder find a storm
I scribble fragments, puzzle pieces…
 
…Will someone hear this wandering tune
Notes that stumble, words that flee
Born on a Sunday afternoon
Or is this tune just for me…
 
[Chorus]
…This one’s for the writer
And the world where he belongs
Where every word finds its mark
Carved forever in the song
This is a song for the writer
And the tales he needs to tell
Tracing long lost memories
And the places where they fell
This one’s for the writer…
 
[Bridge]
In the hush, I surrender
To whatever time remembers
I’m lost, I’m found, I’m right, I’m wrong
Just a writer in a song…
 
[Chorus]
…This one’s for the writer
And the world where he belongs
Where every word finds its mark
Carved forever in his song
It’s for the writer
And the tales he needs to tell
Tracing long lost memories
And the places where they fell
This one’s for the writer
This one’s for the writer
This one’s for the writer
This one’s for the writer…
