Songs Are lyrics

© 2009 by Bill Burnett

Pleae click here for SONG

Songs are splashes
Songs are flashes
Songs are magic escape hatches
Songs are gates with broken latches
One song itches, one song scratches
One song chases and one song catches
Songs are sculptures built in air
Songs are twice prayer, twice prayer
Songs are twice prayer, twice prayer
Songs are twice prayer, twice prayer
Songs are twice prayer, twice prayer

Songs are dark and secret places
Songs are wildly grinning faces
Songs are intimate embraces
One song marks and one erases
Songs are tear soaked pillow cases
Songs are beds that we all share
Songs are twice prayer, twice prayer
Songs are twice prayer, twice prayer 
Songs are twice prayer, twice prayer 
Songs are twice prayer, twice prayer 

Songs are...Songs are...

Songs are petty sweet confections
Songs are heavy deep convictions
Songs are primitive eruptions
Songs are winks and sly seductions
Songs are pious benedictions
Songs are freakouts and conniptions
Songs are holy contradictions
One song truths and one song fictions
Songs are salves for our afflictions
Songs relieve our worst despair
Songs are twice prayer, twice prayer 
Songs are twice prayer, twice prayer 
Songs are twice prayer, twice prayer 
Songs are twice prayer, twice prayer

Hi Bill,
The blog is really nice. Mazel Tov, and the song is inspired. Just perfect truths. I actually have a song called "dig".. funny- perfect for the song mine! I haven't recorded it. If I do, when I do.. I'll share with you.
Hope all is well,
Linda
