Lyrics
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 feeling, 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've ever faced
'Cause you can't change the truth
In the slightest way
I've tried
So I asked myself
I said George,
where in the hell do you go from here?
Then like a fool, I turned around
And I looked in the mirror
And there I was seeing an old violin
Soon to be put away and never played again
So one more time, just to be sure
I said: George, where you gonna go from here?
And you know, there wasn't a nickel's worth of difference
When I looked into the mirror
'Cause there I was seeing an old violin
Soon to be put away and never played again
And just like that,
it hit me why that old violin and I were just alike
We give our all to music
And soon we'll give our life
Precious memories, how they linger
