I am passing by,
I can not create art. I am not an artist.
I can not enchant anyone’s eye.
I can not thrill anyone’s ear.
I can touch no heart, I can heal no wound.
I can rise no soul.
I am passing by, passing by, passing by.
I stroll by the sidewalk, as it rains. And the streets are as dark
as my heart, as my light, as your hair
slipping through my fingers.
I dare break a nail, track your tail.
watch you sleep on the silk of a stranger’s bed.
I am not a priest, not a saint. I am not a cheikh.
I am passing by, passing by, passing by.
I can not love, I am not a lover.
My heart shut by the end of your time,
the dark of times, the dead of light, of your might.
The sky is red and orange
but I see it blue,
as the tide, as my heart, as your eyes, as your nails
helding me your hands, so I lift you up, rise you so you
don’t drown
in the alley behind the stranger’s house.But I carry on,
I am passing by, passing by, passing by.
I stroll by the sidewalk, as it rains.

I think this is a song. a jazz-y one set in the 30′s with a deeper, darker jacques brel’s voice.
I have become interested in writing songs, But I don’t know how to submit it or what to do with it. Also ghostwriting.
Please tell me what you think about that and the lyrics/poem and if you have any idea on how to proceed.
