The Bridge of Light

When I wrote your song
My heart was full of loving
You said the words sounded wrong
Sneering and laughing

The music inside of me
Took an age to express
Your rejection at a quarter past three
Left me in a mess

I tried to speak from the deep
The emotions inside my heart
You made them sound cheap
When you took them apart

Should I try and dumb my feelings down
Make them easier to understand
I did not want to make you frown
That was not what I planned

What I feel does not work
With clichés and standard thoughts
I reach deep into the murk
To untie the stubborn knots

Help me to get this right
Connections road is potholed
Help me find the bridge of light
That links between our souls
