It’s been a few since I’ve seen you

Why are you still in my heart?

Time hasn’t helped my soul

Hasn’t made me smart

For your love is still real

And when I think of you I still feel

A tingle of happiness, a shimmer of hope

Maybe you’re far, maybe it’s my lonely guitar

Softly I strum, dreaming that I’m playing you

Becoming one, letting the past make it true

Twenty-four hours around the clock

My heart never stops

It’s a never ending journey to a place

Where I might one day see your face

Forgiving me, loving me

Coming from afar, to hear my lonely guitar

It’s a lonely guitar

Greek like the lyre

But with wooden tears

Coming through

It’s a lonely guitar

Playing so very far

From you

Giving up the good life

A sacrifice self-directed

Success surrounds me

But within it can’t be detected

If I don’t have you

I don’t have me

And my slaved love

Will never be free

From pretending that I’m someone new

Who doesn’t have a life that surrounds you

Oh you are too far, come listen to my lonely guitar

It’s a lonely guitar

Greek like the lyre

But with wooden tears

Coming through

It’s a lonely guitar

Playing so very far

From you

It’s a lonely guitar

Greek like the lyre

But with wooden tears

Coming through

It’s a lonely guitar

Playing so very far

From you
