I just find that when I come up with words they form a tune; not an existing one usually, just a kind of melody that sort of automatically comes with the first few lines. Different every time and usually very simple. I don't think of a tune and then set the words to it, it just sort of happens. It's the way I've always written, prose or poetry. Very occassionally I'll have an existing tune in my head when I'm writing, but more often the tune and the words come at the same time.

lj if you think this one could work to music, I'd be happy for you to play around with it (happy and very flattered :P).
