Unfound Melody

There is an aching in my heart,
but I cannot find the words.
There's this passion for a song,
that has hidden chords.

There's a melody in my mind,
that just won't go away,
but every time i start to sing,
the notes don't want to play.

There's this tingle in my fingers,
as the phrases hum on by.
The notes they gently linger,
but escape as i try.
 
There's an urging that crescendos,
like the song that haunts me so.
It escapes me again,
but i just can't let it go.
 
There's this sadness in my heart,
but i cannot find the piece.
There's this passion for a song,
that may not come to cease.
