My Piano

I clamored for love today

The notes are all broke

I wrapped all the pages round

And made me a home

I opened my mouth today

The teeth and the nose

I ran my hand ‘cross the scales

Here’s what I wrote

It’s my piano

It’s my piano

It’s my piano, so

You leave it all alone

It’s my piano

It’s my piano, so

It’s my piano

You leave it all alone [x2]

I couldn’t come up today

I fell in a hole

Everything’s brown today

Even my gold

My wrist is full holding it

And you I behold

I want to be on with it

And weep and grow old

You leave it all alone (x4)
