[QUOTE="bball, post: 1596614, member: 23752"] I wonder if poetry was diminished when lyrics were added to music. Many songs, when music is removed, and the lyrics listed in print, resemble poetry. [color=#008040]Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way. Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town Waiting for someone or something to show you the way. Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain. You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today. And then one day you find ten years have got behind you. No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun. So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking Racing around to come up behind you again. The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older, Shorter of breath and one day closer to death. Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time. Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way The time is gone, the song is over, Thought I'd something more to say. Home Home again I like to be here When I can When I come home Cold and tired It's good to warm my bones Beside the fire Far away Across the field Tolling on the iron bell Calls the faithful to their knees To hear the softly spoken magic spell[/color] The above are lyrics written by a man in his late 20s(read the lyrics and let that soak in) and became a legendary song composed and performed by a legendary band. I expect someone will recognize the song immediately. I enjoy poetry and lyrics because of the exceptional vehicle they provide for communicating. [/QUOTE]
