An Acquaintance Strikes A Chord lyrics
Song information
Artist: The Good Life Album: Novena On A Nocturn
Lyrics
He broke his old guitar
He couldn't make it sing The strings had grown so worn They made his fingers bleed Soon after the event he made an acquaintance Whose fingers bled as well Forming scabs that never heal
Would you play a song for me? Some wilting melody That drifts over the sunflowers To some far away country Won't you play a song for me? With words like push pins? They stick into my heart.. And bleed out resonance
These songs are all asleep They lay dormant inside of me This vacant recitation..i can't resuscitate them Won't you play a song for me? Let the words escape your mouth! Scream out what you've lost! In song it will be found
He broke his old guitar He smashed it on his bedpost Where he used to dream up lovers Kissing his forehead, "good morning."
