Not a poem, really, but a song.....I got a line of song stuck in my head (Led Zeppelin, I think) and I started to make words to it.......over a day, and several verses and imaginary guitar solos later, here comes what I believe to be the finished result of my stress over the past few days. ;D
Take me away.....
And I’ve done, and I’ve seen, and I’ve lived
And I’ve done all I think that I shid
And I don’t know why I a’ standin’ here
And I don’t know why y’all a’ crowdin’ near
And they say ya gonna take me away (take me away, take me away)
And ya say I won’ see ‘gain the light of day (take me away, take me away)
And they say the dark
Will leave its mark, will leave its mark
On me……
And I’ll tell ya how it’a be, it will be……
Cuz my soul
Has gon’ numb from the col’
And as long as my heart I can hear (I can hear, I can hear)
There will be nothin’ for me to fear (I can hear, I can hear)
And ya say ya gonna take me away, take me away
And I tell ya there gon’ be a price to pay, a price to pay
Cuz no walls of just brick and clay, brick and clay
Can keep me away……
From you……
And I know what I clutch in my hands
Can be good or bad, it depends
But I’m a comin’ for you
Don’cha ya need a clue, need a clue
Ya took me away
For a thousand days (a thousand, a thousand days, a thousand days)
And I’ve come to repay (a thousand days, a thousand days, a thousand days)
And once ya repaid me ‘gain in three, ‘gain in three
I shall be free…….
And I’ve done, and I’ve seen, and I’ve lived
And I’ve done all I think that I shid
And I don’t know why I a’ standin’ here
And I don’t know why y’all a’ crowdin’ near
And they say ya gonna take me away (take me away, take me away)
And ya say I won’ see ‘gain the light of day (take me away, take me away)
And they say the dark
Will leave its mark, will leave its mark
On me……
And I’ll tell ya how it’a be, it will be……
Think you can sing it? (I'm fairly certain now its Black Dog its set to, but it may not be)
