I can't recall one day in my life
I felt as lonely, as I do tonight
Feel like I could lay down, get up no more
It's the damnedest feeling, never felt it before.
Well, I guess it's cos' the truth, is the hardest thing that I ever faced.
And you know you can't change the truth in the slightest way... but I tried
I said, just where to you go from here?
And then like a fool, why... I looked in the mirror.
And there I was seeing an old violin
That soon would be put away
And never played again.
(Instrumental)
And then one time just to be sure I said,
Just where the Hell, do you go from here?
And you know there wasn't one nickel's
worth of difference
When I looked back in that mirror
Cos' there I was seeing that old violin
Soon to be put away, never played again
And then just like that, it hit me
Why, me and the old violin, I guess we were just alike
We'd given our all to music and someday we'll give our lives
Cos' there I was seeing an old violin
Soon to be put away, and never played again.
Soon to be put away, and never played again.
