Patti Masterman - A Muted Tune

You be a couplet
And I'll be the prose-
All they hear is your heart that's beating,
All they hear is the door that close.

You be the portal
And I'll be the way-
All they hear is the words, that falling;
All they hear, what they want to say.

You be the starlight
And I'll be the moon-
All they hear is a far light shining:
All they hear is a muted tune.
