Peter Hammill - I Once Wrote Some Poems Lyrics

Send "I Once Wrote Some Poems" ringtone to your cell

I once wrote some poems of stillness and silence,

Standing by rivers of reflected light:

My thoughts were on being loved and yet unloved, too -

I surrendered to the warmth of the night.

And now I feel like dying,

And if the water were still here, it would

Hold me close.

I once wrote a poem while walking on gravestones,

As cobbles, rain and tear lashed down my face....

I then felt my whole world was fading

As memories jostled and fell into place.

And now I feel like dying,

And the pain of old fires still burns.

I never wrote poems when I bit my knuckles

And Death started slipping into my mouth...

But that was really a long time ago,

And I'm not writing poems now.

And though I don't feel quite like dying,

There is something deep inside me

Softly crying.

And though I don't feel quite like dying

There is something deep inside me softly....
