"THE LONELY SONGWRITER"

Words and Music by:
JOHN ROBERT MALLERNEE

VERSE # 1:
In my heart, there's a song.
But, the words come out wrong
When I try to write down what I feel.
There's emotional pain.
Memories come again
As the melody says what it will.
If I express what's inside as I play,
Another song can be born in this way.

VERSE # 2:
'Though my mind is now blank,
Still my God, I must thank
For the talent that He's given me.
Yes, my heart, it is full,
And my life is not dull.
I enjoy all the World that I see.
Facing uncertain years all alone,
Inspiration is driving me on.

BRIDGE:
These varied words I must tell
Aren't the sort of songs which sell.
So, the thoughts that I write
Remain my own.
Tortured feelings I can't hide,
So, a lonely trail I ride
To that far Western country
I have known.

REPEAT VERSE # 1

REPEAT BRIDGE

CONCLUDE WITH:
If I express what's inside as I play,
Another song can be born in this way.
