Now here's a song that you never get
unless you actually did this.
I gotta say it, you know.
It's just about a guitar player, okay?
♪
I sung the song slowly as she stood in the shadows ♪
♪ She stepped to the light as my silver string spun ♪
♪ She called with her eyes to the tune I was playing ♪
♪ But the song, it was long and I'd only begun ♪
♪ Through a bullet of light her face was reflecting ♪
♪ The fast fading words that rolled from my tongue ♪
♪ With a long distance look her eyes was on fire ♪
♪ But the song,
it was long and there was more to be sung ♪
♪ My eyes danced a circle across her clear outline ♪
♪ With her head tilted sideways she called me again ♪
♪ As the tune drifted out she breathed hard through the echo ♪
♪ But the song,
it was long and it was far to the end ♪
♪
I glanced at my guitar and played it tending ♪
♪ But of all the eyes out there I could see none ♪
♪ As the thoughts pounded hard like the pierce of an arrow ♪
♪ But the song,
it was long and it had to get done ♪
♪ As the tune finally folded I laid down the guitar ♪
♪
And looked for the girl who'd stared for so long ♪
♪ But her shadow was missing for all of my searching ♪
