Melodious Melancholy Poem by Elizabeth Sheaffer

Write me a song about the way the wind blows
Take me where all the dirt roads go
Put me in a meadow in the middle of nowhere
Don’t write me something that’s just for show

We’ll sing it together at a club near the dock
Our voices and the waves crashing on the rocks
The people will love us, yeah, they’ll really dig it
We’ll be famous so quick we’ll go into shock

And we’ll be a one-hit wonder wandering down a lonely street
They’ll chant our names and stop us in the middle of the street
We’ll be a one-hit wonder, yeah, they’ll all know you and me
By the sound of our two voices in the still and silent heat

We’ll travel the world, baby, oh we’ll see all the sights
I’ll take you up and up to the highest of heights
The people, they love us, they can’t get enough
But all we’ll want is to get away from the hype

They’ll follow us with cameras everywhere we go
Expect any second we’ll give them a show
Our music won’t matter to them anymore
And that’s when we’ll hit our all time low

And we’ll be a one-hit wonder wandering down a lonely street
They’ll chant our names and stop us in the middle of the street
We’ll be a one-hit wonder, yeah, they’ll all know you and me
By the sound of our two voices in the still and silent heat

Write me a song about fame and fortune
Let the music take away all the torture

Put me on the road in the middle of nowhere
I didn’t want this, just you by my side

Come away with me to the middle of nowhere
We’ll take a guitar and hide away

We’ll be a one-hit wonder wandering down a lonely street
They’ll forget our names and leave us in the middle of the street
We’ll be a one-hit wonder, yeah, they won’t know you and me
Alone with our two voices in the still and silent heat

(For my Mansi-wifey.)
