Piper Songtext

von Cheryl Wheeler

Early mornin' sunrise come and pull the song from me
So I can turn away and rest my tired eyes
I can't escape the haunting of a lonely melody
It runs around and 'round without a compromise
So where you gonna go, what you gonna do
You know I can't say no, can't say good-bye to you
I can't stop the flow 'till you've decided to

The song runs like a piper like a drummer through my brain
Silence all around feels so apart from me
And I could sit and cry for all the love and all the pain
That brings itself to mind inside a harmony
The softest mornin' light can't shine as soft as you
The sweetest love in sight can't love me like you do
The swiftest bird in flight can't climb the path to you

Now it's fully dawn and nightly silence breaks away
Into the distant sounds of cars and factories
Traces linger on and slowly fade into the day
And leave me with these rounds all hummin' back to me
So now I bid you well and take myself to bed
The tune you had to tell was soft and kindly said
And I still feel swell from all you comforted
