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.
