Lyrics in Search of Music. Volume II-Lyrics for the Music Inside Your Head

📘 Aaron Jones began writing lyrical poetry in the late 1980s. He was inspired by his brother Eddie's band to compose his poems in the form of songs. The title of this poetry collection, Lyrics in Search of Music , was inspired by the fact that Eddie could not write music to words already written.

Jones hopes that by offering up his collection, at least one of his poems will have life breathed into it-finally pairing his poetry with the right music. This is his fondest dream.

But Not If You Depart

You say you have no reason to live
But can you tell me why
Why, you think, you have no more to give

You have to give love to get love
That's what I'm trying to tell you
That love you are undeniably worthy of

If you end it all now, it won't hurt you at all
It will devastate all the hearts you've encountered
We're the ones that get hurt after you fall

Listen, your heart is broken
Your feelings you're cloaking
We can repair your heart
But not if you
But not if you
But not if you depart
