oh muses
Words and Music by Anne Stott
Oh muses where are you I’m here all alone
The song won’t appear and you’re not on the phone
That dream last night that seemed like a promise
It vanished at dawn went back to the abyss
Oh muses I need you I can’t do it alone
If I haven’t pleased you how can I atone
I go away I return it’s not fair
It’s my way I can’t change don’t leave me despairing
Oh muses I know that you hear cries and pleas
From so many pens longing for ideas
But my candle’s lit and my prayers have been said
So you know I’ll catch any magic you spread
Oh muses I thank you for all that you’ve done
For Austen and Baldwin Nina Dylan and Young
Patti Helen and Jenkins well the list is so long
It’s selfish really to want one more song
Yet here I am nonetheless presuming to ask
Your favor today may I drink from your flask
Will you send me a spark I can tend to a fire
Without you the odds are really quite dire
But muses I’ll work whatever your choice
I’ll weed through the silence the chaos the noise
My part I’ll do at my page here today
Whether you stop to visit or sore on your way
But muses I’ll work whatever your choice
I’ll weed through the silence the chaos the noise
My part I’ll do at my page here today
Whether you stop to visit or sore on your way
