    Corin the Piper

    A Song Lyric
    by Sheila King

    C Em7 Am Dm Dmaj7 G
    * Corin the Piper lives here no more
    Em Am D G
    He and his mother left when he was four
    C Em7 Am Dm G
    Some day there'll be music, same as before
    Em Am
    But it won't be easy for Corin
    C G7 C
    lives here no more

    C Em7 Am Dm G
    1. I sit here at the window, watchin' the children play
    Em Am D G
    They don't know I'm even here, but they come here every day.
    C Em7 Am Dm G
    Sometimes the tears start fallin', and I wonder what they're for
    Em Am C G7 C
    Until I remember, Corin lives here no more

    2. He filled my days with laughter, sunshine and song,
    And Corin, the drummer, was seldom ever wrong.
    Sometimes I hear him singing, and my heart starts to soar.
    And then I remember, Corin lives here no more.

    3. In the evenings I would watch him, walk up the path alone.
    His head bowed and weary from a day gone on too long.
    And I know that he is sleeping; till I see him once more
    But I can't forget that Corin, lives here no more.

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
