A Sound - Molly Drake

A sound can take you where it will

A sound can make your heart stand still

A summer rain that drips from leaf to leaf

Can bring alive again an old forgotten grief

A sound can take you by the hand

To wander in an ancient land of long ago

When we were very young

And still so many songs unsung

The web is woven, the net is cast

The spell is made, oh let it last

When time had never brushed his wing

Said his say, had his fling

A sound when someone says your name

All at once a tiny tongue of flame

Then I cannot speak

I dare not turn around

And yet I know I know I know

It’s just a sound
