The Song No One Knows- by: unknown forgotten

He got loaded alone one night
And he started playing guitar
He couldn't remember anything at that point
The date or the name of his girlfriend

He started singing a song he had never learned
It was 4 o'clock in the morning
The sky was black as night
His windows were fully open
The neighbors could hear him sing

They awoke to the noise confused
And were about to yell across the way
But instead they sat there silently
And sang along to the song no one knew

His cell phone dialed in his pocket
It called his Dad who lived far away
He answered thinking it was an emergency
Reaching for the bed lamp and sitting up straight

He didn't know who had called him
But listened to them sing and play
He recognized the voice but couldn't place it
So he hummed along to the song he'd never heard

And to this day no one can repeat it
Many more people sang the words that night
And try as they may they can not remember it
It will remain the song that no one knew

Every once in awhile when he's all alone
He still gets loaded and picks up his guitar
Forgets everything and everyone he's ever known
And plays the song he never learned
But the windows have always been closed
And no one else hears it
