Lyrics
He never took a paper
He refrained from writing
Never took his pen
Avoided using his pen
Because he knew
Acknowledging a limitation
He could never
Expressing difficulty in describing
Put into words a thing
The challenge of capturing her essence
Of the beauty of her face
Describing the beauty of her face
Or her white skin or her grace
Mentioning her white skin and grace
It would all be a lousy second best
Believing any attempt would fall short
He never read the papers
Avoiding current events
Never watched the news
Ignorance of news
Because no breaking reports
Rejecting impact on solitude
Would ever match his solitude
Unique solitude unmatched by news
And no terror is strong enough
Emphasizing her permanence in his heart
To blow her from his heart
No external force can erase her
She'll always be there
Her enduring presence
No matter how bad things are
Regardless of circumstances
So sad
Expressing sorrow
I heard him singing
Observing his singing in sadness
So deep
Intensity of emotion
Down from his heart
Originating from deep within
So loud
His continuous efforts
I just kept swinging
Persistent pursuit of relief
And loud just ain't loud enough
The insufficiency of loudness
Tonight I call you baby
Initiating communication
To hear you smile
Desiring to hear her smile
To hear you smile
Reiterating the desire to hear her smile
He never wears his coat now
Changing habits due to love
No umbrella or strong shoes
Disregarding protection from elements
Because no winter
Highlighting emotional coldness
Was ever colder than his blues
Comparing emotional depth to winter
But she will always guide him home
Belief in her guiding influence
Though there's still along time to come
Despite challenges, confident in reunion
Before that desirable break of dawn
Anticipation of a positive future
