Don't stare at the eye.
This doesn't have a standard verse/chorus/bridge structure. It's an acapella (3 part harmony) piece with 3 "movements" if you will. The first 6 lines are an intro (the first movement); the two 4 line stanzas are the body (second movement); and of course the final 6 lines--a reprise of the intro--is the closing.
Thanks for taking the time to check it out.
There are too many words
We’ve never spoken
Things we thought were better left unsaid
But quiet hearts hurt just the same
When they are broken
And silent dying ends up no less dead.
The morning of our day is done
The afternoon will soon be gone
Then the west will call the sun
And our shadows will grow long
In the evening of our day
Will we be warmed by fire still?
Or will we simply look away
And pretend that we don’t feel the chill?
There are so many words
That we have wasted
Like tossing coins with no regard for cost
Though starting new is hard
Once bitter wine’s been tasted
Every day we don’t is another day we’ve lost.
