[Song lyric written while walking home at 3.00 a.m. after listening to Led Zeppelin II.] There comes a time when all must die And none be left behind. There comes a time when dawn must fly And take your tired mind. There comes a time When reason and rhyme Must walk the line They find. There comes a day, my love will stay And not leave me behind. There comes a day, not far away When my love he will find. There comes a day When the blue and gray Their parts to play Decline. -------------------------------- Not a poem, but a request for help: I'm a singer/guitarist and I'm trying to learn to write songs. My big problem is that the above is about the best I can do with lyrics. I've tried setting already-published poems to music, but am less than satisfied, mostly because it's hard to find potential lyrics which aren't already lyrics. Would anyone out there be interested in collaboration? If so, I'd be happy to swap, say, a tape of my tunes for a sheaf of your poetry, and let the chips fall where they may. --Alex ...!mcnc!unc!melnick "Woke up in the morning, But for you it's yesterday.
