I'd Rather Write A Symphony Songtext
von Ted Gärdestad

I′d rather write a symphony
Than play this lonely melody
You know I just gotta bring it all out

So if you need my company
Open your eyes, look at me
While I'm singing my life away

I′d rather hear your interlude
Than live my life in solitude
You know it's so hard to play it alone

So if you need me close to you
Stay by my side and help me through
While I'm singing my pain away


Often we′re aching
We′re so easily breaking
My fingers are shaking
Oh, I gotta hang on to myself

Often it's trying
Hiding tears when I′m crying
When somethin' is wrong
It′s hard to be strong

The minute they're gone
I′ll carry on

I'd rather share your sympathy
Than sail away in majesty
You know I'm dying to have you around

I′d rather write a symphony
Than play this lonly melody
You know I just gotta bring it all out

So if you need my company
Open your eyes, look at me
While I′m singing my life away
