lyrics

if I could sit in a room with him
I imagine that it’d smell like wood
the walls would tick, the floor would creak
the way that old timbers should

and in-between rhymes, he’d grab on his knee
and laugh about a time in the past
coaxing his guitar in sweet harmony
while the air just hummed in the back

I fear that I’d not know just what to say
what would I if I even tried?
my ramblin’ done, forgotten by all
of the things that he’s heard in time

but I hope that he’d know that all of his wisdom
won’t be lost on my younger age
I’d write it all down, and lock it on up
to recall for the rest of my days

won’t you sing me a song tonight?
I won’t mind if you forget the words
just to hear the cracks in your dry, honest voice
would truly mean the world

I don’t need no blinding lights
an old chair would suit me just fine
it’d be such a thrill, no heart standing still
if you’d sing me a song tonight

his words fill a room like a warm memory
eyes thin as they squint while he sings
his hands move in line to the rhythm and time
with a glint from his silver, stone ring

and with a flick of his thumb, calloused and worn
on a set of six shiny, steel strings
maybe being so close, some of that stuff
could eventually rub off on me

won’t you sing me a song tonight?
I won’t mind if you forget the words
just to hear the cracks in your dry, honest voice
would truly mean the world

I don’t need no blinding lights
an old chair would suit me just fine
it’d be such a thrill, no heart standing still
if you’d sing me a song tonight

it’d be such a thrill, no heart standing still
if you’d sing me a song tonight
