I can still smell the fire
Though I know it's long died out
The smoke still hangs in my hair
And on some quiet evenings, it burns my eyes
So darling, play your violin
I know it's what you live for
Darling, play your violin
We will manage somehow
I once lived in the sea
Bring me to your ear, you can hear
The tide where I used to be
Though now, I'm but a shell
Oh, babe, please don't say sorry
Darling, play your violin
I know it's what you live for
Darling, play your violin
We will manage somehow
Don't dare regret anything
Remember what you're here for, you
Just play your violin
And we will manage somehow
