The Old Violin

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 damnedest 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 feeling Would just go away I guess it's 'cause the truth Is the hardest thing I ever faced 'Cause you can't change the truth In the slightest way I tried So I asked myself I said, "John Where do you go from here?" Then like a fool I turned around I looked in the mirror And there I was seein' 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?" And you know there wasn't a nickel's worth of difference When I looked in the mirror 'Cause there I was seein' An old violin Soon to be put away And never played again And just like that, it hit me That an old violin and I were just alike We'd give our all to music And soon, we'd give our life Precious memories, how they linger
