Once Upon a Tune
Sing another story-song,
About a love gone wrong, perhaps,
Or unrequited longings long,
Forever under wraps.
Rag-to-riches, rites of passage,
Tell your message verse-by-verse –
From the wreckage of a savage love
Or maybe witch’s curse.
Country, folk, and western,
Aren’t the only storytellers –
From Ancient Rome to Preston,
Were the yarns of many fellers.
There’s always time for stories,
Don’t be sorry for the tale –
There’s life in allegories,
And there’s drama in the mail.
Emotions aren’t the only theme –
With which to team a tune.
We sometimes need to daydream
On a lonely afternoon.
So play another story-song
To singalong, my friend –
From a start that’s low and strong,
To a climax at the end.
