Minstrel (2016 Remix) Lyrics

If I could just hear the secrets of your heart

I could, I would… find the melody

I could dress the part

Or even paint my face

Singing songs in rhymes

The words they interlace

Would you think me a fool, or cry insanity?

The children gather round

To watch the minstrel dance

The colours and music blind

Holding eyes in trance

Swaying backward, forward

Rejoicing vanity

He lets his arms embrace you in the serenade

But look for where you go, you walk the fool’s parade

You let go, you dance

You’d give anything while given the chance

Watch where they go

You’d be losing the lot if you don’t catch the show

From his heart, he sings

From the depths of his soul comes a spark of dreams

Watch where he goes

You’ll be losing the chance to redeem your soul

Does he hold the key?

Can he set me free?

Mending hearts with melody…

One last look is all it takes

To claim your spirit,

Music raptures, numbing sadness

Can’t you… won’t you give yourself to me?

Fading sadness, passing fleeting

Rhythm charming, lifetime wander,

Breathless dreaming, turning magic,

Phantom healing,

Whence from this man takes my pain?

He has no other way

And life is but song in the park

Some may look the other way

For the song in our hearts

If we could only see the world

Through his eyes, through his songs

The way he sees

Can you hear the melodies?

Not from his voice, but from his heart

And of his soul

All that I can be (is as close a man as he)

All that I create (to his soul that I emulate)

Until one day I’m sure to find

A long-lost name I’ve left behind myself
