I ONCE WROTE SOME POEMS
-----------------------
By Peter Hammill
From _Fool's Mate_ (1971)
Bsus2 Bm
I once wrote some poems of stillness and silence,
Bsus2 Bm
standing by rivers of reflected light:
Dm A
my thoughts were on being loved and yet unloved, too -
C E D
I surrendered to the warmth of the night.
C
And now I feel like dying,
Em
and if the water were still here, it would
D
hold me close.
Bsus2 Bm
I once wrote a poem while walking on gravestones,
Bsus2 Bm
as cobbles, rain and tear lashed down my face....
Dm A
I then felt my whole world was fading
C E D
as memories jostled and fell into place.
C
And now I feel like dying,
Em D
and the pain of old fires still burns.
Bsus2 Bm
I never wrote poems when I bit my knuckles
Bsus2 Bm
and Death started slipping into my mouth...
Dm A
but that was really a long time ago,
C E D
and I'm not writing poems now.
C
And though I don't feel quite like dying,
Em
there is something deep inside me
D
softly crying.
D C
And though I don't feel quite like dying
Em
there is something deep inside me softly....
