|
A writer has the empty page |
|
Where he can set the scene |
|
He puts the actors on the stage |
|
Or on the movie screen |
|
The characters all say the words |
|
The writer wants to hear |
|
And then, my friend |
|
A happy end |
|
But when the writer steps outside |
|
That room where he is king |
|
He can't control when lives collide |
|
Or what the lovers sing |
|
And so he hides behind his words |
|
The one place he belongs |
|
And in black and white |
|
He can rewrite the wrongs |
|
Where he can find the strength to say |
|
What those he loves should hear |
|
And just erase mistakes she's made |
|
Then make them disappear |
|
Where he can change the plot |
|
So he's a hero, not a louse |
|
And when the curtain falls |
|
There's not a dry eye in the house |
|
A writer hopes to leave behind |
|
A work no one forgets |
|
And when he writes, "the end" |
|
To find he has the right regrets |
|
A writer has the empty page |
|
Where he can use his pen |
|
To mend his heart |
|
And try to start |
|
Again |
