THE WRITER'S LAMENT

by Judith Proctor

Tune: I Will Go, I Will Go when the Fighting is over.

This song is dedicated to that story that I really do mean to get written - some day.


I will write, I will write when this crisis is over,
The ultimate tale of a man and his lover,
I will write, I will write.

I promised the editor, a month ago last Sunday,
I would have it in the post, it would reach her by Monday,
I will write, I will write.

I have worked a wonderous tale, of heroes, death and glory,
If I get it down on paper, it will be the perfect story,
I will write, I will write.

It has passion, it has love, it has fighting, it has danger,
It has hurt, it has comfort from a dark, mysterious stranger,
I will write, I will write.

The ending is so tragic, it will leave you broken-hearted,
But you cannot read it yet, for I haven't even started...
I will write, I will write.
