Alexandra Uitdenbogerd - Space Tale - текст песни (слова)

I must replace the space tale
 because the poet's blocked release
 and it won't be back until he's long deceased,
 
 I'll tell you how it happened
 I got permission long ago
 to set the words to music for a choir
 
 But then he heard the word
 we wanted to record
 he said he'd have to hear before he gave the rights
 
 So I was most obliging inviting him along to hear,
 But when he'd heard them all he gave one song the big thumbs down!
 
 We sang them in a concert,
 the pieces were all well received
 I checked to see if he had changed his mind
 
 But much to my dismay,
 the poet felt inclined to say
 that all four poems were totally out of bounds!
 
 Substitute verses are never as good,
 we will all miss the space tale.
