Lyrics

Here's another song in C
When I play piano it's my key
If I was playing my guitar
I'd probably be in G, the chances are
But here's another song in C
With my favorite protagonist, me
Of my little world I'll tell and show
I'll sing all about it so you'll know
When the people in it break my heart
Then my little world can fall apart
And there's not a thing I can do
Except to sing in C to you
Oh there used to be a family
Brothers, sisters, father, mother and me
We were living in our little home
We were fending off the great unknown
But the great unknown, it got inside
And what had been whole, it did divide
In the end the father had to leave
When he did, the mother had to grieve
That's the time real troubles start
It's when a world can fall apart
And there's not a thing I can do
Except to sing in C to you
I grew up and had a family
And it broke apart so easily
All that started thirty years ago
Why it's never ended I don't know
I could blame it on the great unknown
Or as a kid what I was told and shown
But I blame myself and I blame her
The cruel and foolish people that we were
And the children that we had are grown
They're out fending off their great unknown
And I've noticed, they're a bit like me
With a tendency to sing in C
So by now it's clear to hear and know
I don't play a lot of piano
But sometimes a fella has to sit
Just to sing about the heavy shit
And the great unknown's a hurricane
With howling winds and floods and driving rain
You might make it through, but you don't know
If right behind it there's a tornado
And if families didn't break apart
I suppose there'd be no need for art
Oh but you and I know they do
So I'll sing in C to you
