This Guitar (feat. Alison Krauss)

At seventeen

I hadn't seen

The thing that makes us real

Then I found you

At twenty-four

I wanted more

When no one else would listen

You sang to me

You're my shoulder to cry on

You're the best of best friends

You brought fire to my fingers

You brought joy to no end

My brother, my sister

My lover, my wife

It's crazy I know

But this guitar saved my life

Broken down, border town

Feels like the end of time

Without you

You came to me

And made me see

Caress me with your honesty endlessly

You're my shoulder to cry on

You're the best of best friends

You brought fire to my fingers

You brought joy to no end

My brother, my sister

My lover, my wife

It's crazy I know

But this guitar saved my life

Me with you, you with me

The ghosts all disappear

Naturally

You lay to rest

My emptiness

And show the world your beauty

Through me

You're my shoulder to cry on

You're the best of best friends

You brought fire to my fingers

You brought joy to no end

My brother, my sister

My lover, my wife

It's crazy I know

But this guitar

This guitar saved my life
