To Noise Making (Sing)

Remember when you'd sing

Just for the fuck of it and any joy it would bring?

Honey, the look of it

Was as sweet as the sound

Your head tilt back

Your funny mouth to the clouds

I couldn't hope to know that song or know its words

Wouldn't claim to feel the same we felt the first time it was heard

I couldn't name that feeling carried in that voice

Was it that or just the act of making noise that brought you joy?

You don't have to sing it right

But who could call you wrong

To put your emptiness to melody, your awful heart to song?

You don't have to sing it nice

But, honey, sing it strong

At best, you'll find a little remedy

At worst, the world will sing along

So, honey, sing

Honey, sing

Honey, sing, honey, sing, honey, sing, honey, sing, honey, sing

Sing

Honey, sing

Honey, sing, honey, sing, honey, sing, honey, sing, sing

Remember when you'd sing

Before we'd move to it?

And we'd scuff up our shoes

Honey, the groove of it

Was whatever you'd choose

'I Wanna Be Your Lover' or 'The Fisherman's Blues'

You didn't always sing it right

But who could call you wrong

To put your emptiness to melody, your awful heart to song?

You don't have to sing it nice

But, honey, sing it strong

At best, you'll find a little remedy

At worst, the world will sing along

So, honey, sing

Honey, sing

Honey, sing, honey, sing, honey, sing, honey, sing, honey, sing

Sing

Honey, sing

Honey, sing, honey, sing, honey, sing, honey, sing, sing

Who could ask you be unbroken or be brave again?

Or, honey, hope even on this side of the grave again?

And who could ask you to be sound or to feel saved again?

Well, stick around until you hear that music play again

And, honey, sing

Honey, sing

Honey, sing, honey, sing, honey sing, honey, sing, honey, sing

Sing

Honey, sing

Honey, sing, honey, sing, honey, sing, honey, sing, sing

Remember when you'd sing

Honey, sing

Just for the love of it?

Sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing

Sing

Honey, sing

Just for the love of it

Sing, sing, sing, sing, sing

Remember when you'd sing

Just for the love of it and any joy it would bring?
