Poem: "Music Box" by Kay Irvin

Music Box

Kay Irvin

Time is haunting and soft

Past is misty memory

I think what lingers loft

Carries very heart of me

I only wanted love

I hoped my wait was enough

Maybe I asked too much

And the music box echoes down the lane

Slowly playing with the rain

(wash away the pain, wash away the pain)

Days just don't feel quite right

Afternoons keep weary stream

Dusk taps to empty night

I can't find awake or dream

I only wanted love

I hoped my wait was enough

Maybe I asked too much

And the music box echoes down the lane

Slowly playing with the rain

(wash away the pain, wash away the pain)

I think what lingers loft

Carries very heart of me

And the music box echoes down the lane

Slowly playing with the rain
