Could Have Been A Song lyrics

This could have been A song about the wind
But my words were blown away
I could have sung about tomorrow
But I couldn`t find today
Forget about writing down my conversations
`Cause I can`t think of what to say
With nothing left to sing about my ax in tune,
I got no choice but to sing to you

Chorus
Once won`t you give me,
Twice won`t you save me,
Three times won`t you let me sing this song for you

I`ve been thinking about Singing about a painting,
But the colors make me spin
Or the mystery of a spiral,
where would I begin?
I could have sung about piety,
but I slammed right into sin
And now I`ve got a crowd around me,
what am I able to do?
I`ll take this song and offer it to you

Might have sung about the ocean,
but I`m stuck here on the shore
How could I ever ask for seconds,
I couldn`t take no more
I almost thought about a phone call,
but talking`s such a bore
People left an hour ago,
the window`s tainted blue ( so am I)
and I wrote this song
