Blue Guitar

Once I knew a man, showed me the sleight of hand

In the blink of an eye he danced across the strings

He played a song I'd never heard, poignant and absurd

And to this day it leaves me wondering

Don't let tomorrow find you wishing

Boy, you got a mission to shake it, rattle and roll

Oh now, just use your intuition

You'll get less competition from the clock upon the wall

You are what you are, you dream what you dream

Play on your blue guitar for me

Play me a serenade, a simple masquerade

Play on your blue guitar for me

Was he real or make believe or someone to deceive

That time is just a folly we can't see

You only know one song, play it right or wrong

Cause the truth is always somewhere in between

You and I, we can't change the weather

And we're all in this together so let the strong wind blow

Oh now, things will be much better

If you don't become a prisoner to the reason you should know you know

are what you are, you dream what you dream

Play on your blue guitar for me

Play me a serenade, a lover's masquerade

Play on your blue guitar for me
