Creation Lyrics

I put three chords together, and behold, I called it good

But my music, he was lonely, and at once I understood

For my music lacked a lover, a poem whose embrace

Would make everything seem whole

Hand-in-hand, words-in-chords, and face-to-face

It's not good that you're alone

I won't leave you all alone

Even when I made a change and played my chords a different way

I could tell that wouldn't cut it, wanted words, something to say

Even when I made a change and turned my three chords into four

Right away that only made the longing deeper than before

It's not good that you're alone

Without words you're still alone

Even when another joined and played his strings along with mine

Even then something was missing, like a meal without the wine

And we were running out of time

Then at last the wait was over, and my music had been kissed

By a poem whose persuasion there was no chance he'd resist

There are times when time must pass us till the poem comes along

That our music has been missing

And the marriage is a song

It's a union sweet and strong

You are no longer alone

I could not leave you alone

Now my music has a lover, a poem whose embrace

Has made everything seem whole

Hand-in-hand, words-in-chords, and face-to-face
