IF YOU HEAR A SYMPHONY
Music and lyrics by Paul Iorio
Copyright 2013
If I had a dime for every song that Waxwing sang at my window
I’d buy a ticket to where you are right now
And I’d sing this song outside your window
Knowing you’d just shut the shade on me
I blew my last chance years ago
But if you hear a symphony
You’ll know it was written by me
You’re the reason for’melody
It’s about you (only)
You’re the reason (for melody)
Guess I’ll just get out of the way
Guess you don’t want me to stay
I hear you got your feet so dirty
with my tongue
Look what I’ve become
I used to have more pride than I have now
I guess I can’t try to persuade you
And trying hard will only dissuade you
If it don’t happen naturally, I’m gone
If you hear a symphony
You’ll know just what inspired me
You’ll know it’s autobiography
It’s about you (only)
You’re the reason (for melody)
If you hear a symphony
You’ll know that you got to me
You’re the reason for’melody
Guess I’ll just walk (away)
You don’t want me (to stay)
