Plaintive Meanderings

I really thought I needed time investigating lyrics But every time I wrote a song it went against my spirit A tune is something that I need The chords allow it all to breathe The tempo is the master that can bring it all together The rhythm brings it all to life and to the words it tethers The melody is sung subdued The harmony brings in a mood But usually I have found meanderings are plaintive And adding words to make it flow is something I complain of A tune can speak up for itself It needs no words from a bookshelf So for this song, which has no tune, the lyrics are essential But adding music to this song would be inconsequential So what I write it must end here To my own muse I must adhere
