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 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
