1
Well, I can't recall, one time in my life,
2
I've felt as lonely as I do tonight.
3
I feel like I could lay down, and get up no more,
4
It's the damndest feelin'; I never felt it before.
5
Tonight I feel like an old violin,
6
Soon to be put away and never played again.
7
Don't ask me why I feel like this, hell, I can't say.
8
I only wish this feelin' would just go away.
9
I guess it's 'cos the truth,
10
Is the hardest thing I ever faced.
11
'Cos you can't change the truth,
12
In the slightest way. I tried.
13
So I asked myself,
14
I said: 'John, where do you go from here?'
15
Then like a damned fool,
16
I turned around and looked in the mirror.
17
And there I saw, an old violin.
18
Soon to be put away and never played again.
19
So one more time, just to be sure,
20
I said: 'John, where in the hell do you go from here?'
21
You know that when a nickel's worth of beer,
22
When I looked in the mirror, that's when I knew.
23
That there I was seein', an old violin.
24
Soon to be put away, and never played again.
25
And just like that, it hit me,
26
That old violin and I were just alike.
27
We'd give our all to music,
28
And soon, we'll give our life.
