Lyrics of The Songwriter

I'm a songwriter
I'm a songwriter
I'm a songwriter and it's true
I'm a songwriter
And so are you
I'm a songwriter
And you are too

Heartless are the spirits that rule the night
The darkness they command robbing the world of its light
When softly, silently through a black and foreboding sky
Insipid rays of gold wash over me

And as they pass me by, time seems to stop.
It stops and stands quite still.
I pause and try to make sense of it all.
In a dreamers world it always will

I'm a songwriter
I'm a songwriter
I'm a songwriter and it's true
I'm a songwriter
And so are you
I'm a songwriter
And you are too

Watching nature awake from where I stand
With pen and paper in my hand
I see joy and sorrow, laughter and rage
I put it all down on a single page

The dawn always gives me such a beautiful feeling
The sky above reminds me of a beautiful ceiling
The sweet smell of grass, the children are playing
Their young eyes seem to be saying
Dreams are yesterday's sighs
To me that sounds so very wise

I'm a songwriter
I'm a songwriter
I'm a songwriter and it's true
I'm a songwriter
And so are you
I'm a songwriter
And you are too

When in a flash time seems to stand eerily still
In a child's world it always will
Just for them I shall leave a most beautiful song
It won't take long
For I'm a songwrite.

For all too soon the world will be their stage
I put the words down, down on a page...cause I'm a songwriter
Dreams of a lifetime will soon become dust
Words will last forever, simply because they must

And I can still feel the warmth of the noon day sun
Though it has faded from my sight
I know it will shine tomorrow
After another cold and endless night

As a songwriter, my thoughts drift deep, waiting for me to write
While listening to voices of spirits that rule the night
When suddenly time begins to stand quite still
In a song writers world it always will
