UNTIL THE INK RUNS DRY
UNTIL THE INK RUNS DRY
(T. Beechey)
Sometimes late at night when the whole world's gone to bed
And the only breeze that's stirred is in my soul
I'll find a pen to write what, within me, must be said
Line by line, word by word --- it's my goal
Until I can certify that nothing else remains
And it's captured here and now upon the page
Or until the ink runs dry and there still exists the chains
That I've never learned how to disengage
Sometimes late at night when the world is all tucked in
And the only thing I've got is endless time
I'll find a pen to write what's, within me, always been
And somehow get it caught all up in rhyme
Till I cannot deny that all is said and done
Word by word, line by line upon the page
Or until the ink runs dry and I've only just begun
The total of the fine is all the wage
Sometimes late at night when the world has closed its eyes
And the only place to go is where I am
I'll find a pen to write what, within me, signifies
Like the waters that will flow against a dam
Until I start to cry cause all the pain's released
Line by line, word by word upon the page
Or until the ink runs dry and the teardrops haven't ceased
And I'm trapped as a bird inside a cage
Sometimes late at night and the whole world is at rest
And the only sights that's seen are stars above
I'll find a pen to write what, within me, echoes best
All the shadows in between the shades of love
Till, slowly by and by, all my thoughts have been revealed
Word by word, line by line upon the page
Or until the ink runs dry and that doorway now is sealed
And, above it, hangs a sign --- "Leave The Stage"
Sometimes late at night when the world is fast asleep
And the only sounds that's heard are crickets' songs
I'll find a pen to write what, within me, lingers deep
Line by line, word by word all night long
Until I heave a sigh cause there's nothing more to say
Everything is written out upon the page
Or until the ink runs dry before I even get halfway
And I'm still immersed n doubt and inner rage
