One More Song

by Bettye LaVette

Lyrics
One more metaphor, one more rhyme
One more broken storyline
One more sorrowful melody
One more verse in a minor key
I wish there be have more than one more song
One more teardrop in every note
Another lyric caught in my throat
What was all this loving for
Just to strike another minor chord
I wish it was more than one more song
More than one more song
One more metaphor, another rhyme
More than one more song
Count to four just to mark the time
Strike another chord of longing
I wish we could be more than one more song
Now it's changed, the images blurred
Just a page of music and words
I don't want to write this down
I don't even want to hear the sound
My heart is still with you
But my pain insist it's true
One more haunting tale of a love gone wrong
I wish it was more
More than one more song
One more metaphor, one more rhyme
More than one more song
Count to four just to mark the time
Strike another chord of longing
I wish it could be more than one more song
