Lyrics

Poet

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Obsession it takes control

Obsession it eats me whole

I can't say the words out loud

So in a rhyme I wrote you down

Now you'll live through the ages

I can feel your pulse in the pages

I have written you down

Now you will live forever

And all the world will read you

And you will live forever

In eyes not yet created

On tongues that are not born

I have written you down

Now you will live forever

Your body lies upon the sheet

Of paper and words so sweet

I can't say the words

So I wrote you into my verse

Now you'll live through the ages

I can feel your pulse in the pages

I have written you down

Now you will live forever

And all the world will read you

And you will live forever

In eyes not yet created

On tongues that are not born

I have written you down

Now you will live forever

I have read her with these eyes

I've read her with these eyes

I have held her in these hands

I have written you down

Now you will live forever

The virtues in the verse

And you will live forever

I have written you down

Now you will live forever

And all the world will read you

And you will live forever

In eyes not yet created

I have written you down

You will live forever

You will live forever
