sing me a story

i will tell you a story

when you're older

of a time when things were simple

and when i tell you this story

when you're older

you may not remember how simple things really were

you see

it's the story you'll hear

when you're older

that you remember as a hidden and dark

cold and soiled time

the words of the story that i will tell you

when you're older

will be transposed 

by your recollections

a half step down

in a completely different clef 

and depending on when you're ready to hear the story i will tell you

when you're older

you may actually read the music in its appropriate form

the song may be able to continue without alterations

but 

for now

i shall continue to read as you continue to write
