Old Violin Lyrics

Old Violin lyrics

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 feelin'; 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 feelin' would just go
away.

I guess it's 'cos the truth,
Is the hardest thing I ever
faced.
'Cos you can't change the truth,
In the slightest way. I
tried.

So I asked myself,
I said: "John, where'd you go from
here?"
Then like a damned fool,
I turned around and looked in the
mirror.


And there I saw, an old violin.
Soon to be put away and
never played again.

So one more time, just to be sure,
I said: "John,
where in the hell do you go from here?"
You know that when a nickel's worth
of difference,
And I looked in the mirror, that's when I knew.

That
there I was seein', an old violin.
Soon to be put away, and never played
again.

And just like that, it hit me,
That old violin and I were just
alike.
We'd give our all to music,
And soon, we'd give our life.
