lyrics

My father was a poet
I could hear him sing
Through the walls
as I lay in my bed
with just a poet's dream
My mother played the piano she wrote love stories
Through the walls in the night when she sang
I dreamt it's just for me
Then I went to school
just a forgotten teen
I never felt I could belong
until they heard me sing
So Play me your song
I’ll sing along
I kept the words beside my bed
When everything's wrong
And I need to be strong
I hear the poet's verse he read
Play me your song
Let it go on until the dawn
My daddy went back to work
he was in carpentry
In the night I would strum his guitar
As he tried asleep
My mother planted her love songs
In the family tree
In the night I would play her piano
Like she played for me
I could see in their eyes
All the forgotten dreams
Like they didn’t belong
Without a song to sing
I’ll play you a song
And you sing along
I put the words beside your bed
When everything's wrong
And you need to belong
Just hear this verse the poets read
Play me your song
let it go on until the dawn
play me a song
I put the kids into bed
And write my song again
Behind the walls
I hope they dream in the night
I sing it just for them
play me your song
I'll sing along
I put the words beside your bed
When everything's wrong
And you need to belong
Just hear this verse the poets read
Play me your song
let it go on
play me your song
