Harry Chapin - She Sings Songs Without Words lyrics

I was thrown on the cobblestones
Tossed at her feet
My fool's mouth was filled with
The dust from the street
An out-of-work court jester with
Nowhere to go
And no need to speak for she seemed to know

She sings her songs without words
Songs that sailors and blind men
And beggars have heard
She knows more of love than the poets can say
And her eyes are for something
That won't go away

This mad
Mocking town and it's dishonored guest
Disappeared in the colors that
Danced on her dress
She led me to safety in a forest of green
And showed my stale eyes
Some sights never seen

She sings her songs without words
Songs that sailors and blind men
And beggars have heard
She knows more of love than the poets can say
And her eyes are for something
That won't go away

She spins magic and moonlight in
Her meadows and streams
And seeks deep inside me
And touches my dreams
The morning comes smiling and I
Laugh with no sound
And snuggle in silence in the
Sweet peace I've found

And she sings her songs without words
Songs that sailors and blind men
And beggars have heard
She knows more of love than the poets can say
And her eyes are for something
That won't go away

No, they won't go away go away
