Loss for Words (RPM Challenge 2008)

from Lowlife by Michael Krapovicky

about

A despondent character's message to a ingenue seeking her fortune in Hollywood. (RPM Challenge 2008)

lyrics

Loss for words, never heard a better
story out of nowhere that I can recall
You’ll be an star on the movie screen
Before you’re seventeen or not at all
Sit and wish for things that you will never hold
See how far you’ll get before you get too old
You won’t see California with just a taste for gold
Keep on trying as the winter comes in cold

You’re a star and you look far ahead
To the moment in the spotlight as the carpet rolls out red
Here’s your scene - up on the movie screen
Even though its make-believe it goes right to your head
Sit and wish for things that you will never see
Got a thousand miles to go before you sleep
But you still see California and the golden city’s key
But you’ll go without my blessing; there’s nothing there for me

Comes a day when the rays of light
Come shining on the silver of the painted maple leaves
You’ll be back; you won’t burn your bridges
You were always wise beyond your dreams
Sit and watch the things that you will never touch
Out the window heading eastward on the bus
You’re leaving California – your dream left in the dust
And tell yourself you never really wanted it that much
