Old Violin

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 can't change the truth

In the slightest way

I've tried

So I asked myself

I said George,

Where in the hell 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: George, where you gonna 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 were just alike

We give our all to music

And soon we'll give our life

Precious memories, how they linger
