The guitar leans in the corner of my room
Collecting dust, and nagging me
Teasing me with tunes not played
Like a child yearning for a playmate
Silent silky strings, soundless, song less
The right notes a treasure inside a vault
My fingers have not figured out how to unlock.
Maybe the key to the riches
Is hiding behind more patience, less hurry.
Time to blow off the dust.
Collecting dust, and nagging me
Teasing me with tunes not played
Like a child yearning for a playmate
Silent silky strings, soundless, song less
The right notes a treasure inside a vault
My fingers have not figured out how to unlock.
Maybe the key to the riches
Is hiding behind more patience, less hurry.
Time to blow off the dust.
