lyrics

Been tryin’ to write a novel since I was twelve
It’d look so pretty sitting on that shelf
But I don’t have the patience to do it by myself
Can’t get the words out from where they dwell

I need a coauthor - but I got nothing to offer
I need a partner - a closer or a starter
I need a coauthor - like someone from Oxford
Or wherever you have graduated from.

Been big on fantasy and science fiction
‘Cause stories in the real world have too much friction
Don’t have the words to meet this predilection
I need someone to give me that proper diction

I’d send you a manuscript
And you’d return it covered in red ink
From my mind all other thoughts would slip
Ignoring sleep I wouldn’t catch a wink
‘Til you and I were proud of what we’d made
Worth it all the time it took
Looking at the words we read
Oh - it’d be such a lovely book…
