| Well I can’t recall one time in my life
|
| I’ve felt as lonely as I do tonight
|
| I feel like I could lay down and get up no more
|
| It’s the damndest feeling, I never felt it before
|
| Tonight, I feel like an old violin
|
| Soon to be put away and never played again
|
| Don’t ask me why I feel like this, hell, I can’t say
|
| I only wish this feeling would just go away
|
| I guess it’s 'cause the truth is the hardest thing I’ve ever faced
|
| 'Cause you just can’t change the truth in the slightest way
|
| I tried
|
| So I asked myself
|
| I said, «George, where do you go from here?»
|
| Then like a fool, I turned around and I looked in the mirror
|
| And there, I was seeing an old violin
|
| Soon to be put away and never played again
|
| So one more time, just to be sure
|
| I said, «Now, Troubadour, where in the hell do you go from here?»
|
| And you know, there wasn’t a nickel’s worth of difference
|
| When I looked into the mirror
|
| 'Cause there, I was seeing an old violin
|
| Soon to be put away and never played again
|
| And just like that, it hit me
|
| Why that old violin and I, we’re just alike
|
| We give our all to music, and soon we’ll give our life
|
| Precious memories, how they linger, ooh |
