For Nobody To Hear

(By Sandy Denny. U.F.O. Music, Inc. (C) 1972)

Although the flames they are so dim,
I can see them from over here.
But, this is no time to worry now,
No time to shed a tear.
The people are all smiling,
The letters are all too,
The flowers they are all arranged
And the notes they are all blue.

Where are the words to say to you,
Where do they all begin.
I should not have a lot to lose
And everything to win.
And I want you to be smiling,
I want you not to cry.
And even if I hide away,
Then you'll get the notion why.

A symphony I learnt
In pigeonholes so clear,
But it made me for to write no songs,
For nobody to hear.
And I see you are all smiling
Even in the candle light.
Just close your eyes and fall asleep,
And I think you'll be alright.
Close your eyes and fall asleep,
And I think you'll be alright.
