Simile - Jimmy Webb

This is the answer

To the letter unsent

Which even so arrived in

Some years later

Like a song sometimes

A written for love

Long before it is alive

Oh the poems sighed

To sweet faces

Caught away in some

Damned the machine oh

Leaving them no quieter time

To liken things to other things

Trying to describe

Other things

Now safe with the answer

To a question unasked

That needed no reply

He is singing a description

Of a song he cannot write

About how hard it is to cry

And are the words in

The wrong places

Or the spaces stumbling

In between

Or is there just no brighter time

To liken things to other things

Trying to describe

Other things
