Lyrics in Search of Music

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 <i> Lyrics in Search of Music</i> 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.<i> <b> But Not If You Depart </b>You say you have no reason to liveBut can you tell me whyWhy you think you have no more to giveYou have to give love to get loveThat's what I'm trying to tell youThat love you are undeniably worthy ofIf you end it all now it won't hurt you at allIt will devastate all the hearts you've encounteredWe're the ones that get hurt after you fall<b> Listen your heart is brokenYour feelings you're cloakingWe can repair your heartBut not if youBut not if youBut not if you depart </b> </i>
