Ebony & Ivory
my fingers slowly trail over you, ebony and ivory
you sing me sweet melodies that only i could imagine
these sounds are not perfect, but you and i can make them be
you accompany me at any given pace as i travel
and we trade off expressions, i the poet, you the artist
an artist and a poet, not too different, rushing in the same vein
emotion is powerful, darlin', you make it so vivid to see
at request you belt out a powerful note, but a fragile one moments later
people gather from around to hear you and i make love
oh what would i do without you, oh sweet piano?
