Lyrics & Chords

After almost more than a year of being immersed in the world of Urdu Poetry and Hindi Songs, I wrote something in English yesterday late afternoon and decided to give it a test run today. Wouldn’t really call it a song, but just a folk poem with some melody to it.

Lyrics:

Is she a dream or a story?
Is she a star in the sky?
“No, she’s a maid(‘en)”, he told me
So, said the old man with a smile

Pray – won’t you say, won’t you tell me
Tale of the Maiden of the night
“Yes, she’s a song, she’s a memory”
So, sang the old man with a sigh

“Scarred as the moon, all alone like the tree
When the birds have all gone away
Still there she waits in the valley
With hope and a tear in her eyes

Call her a dream or a story
She’s in my heart, on my mind
O’ Maid of the night, of the valley
Say it’s been worth every mile”
And so, said the old man with a smile.
