Letra da Música Silver Harps and Violins de Joe Pug

They called you a dreamer
When you were seventeen
The years went by so fast
Now they call you other things
All of the answers that you're dreaming of
They say that it's natural
But a grown man learns how to give them up

You had an apartment
And a woman once
You paid the electric and the gas
And water every month
She said that she loved you
And she wore your clothes
Now she's in dallas with a stand-up
Guy and a four-year-old

There's a world out there - I know there is
Where they'll play my songs on their silver harps and their violins
If you remember one thing, remember this
When the lights came up
There was nothing left I could give

All of your cousins and your relatives
They're competent husbands, faithful model citizens
You saw them at christmas when they laughed and sang
You're so very different
Why the hell can't you just feel the same?

There's a world out there - I know there is
Where they'll play my songs
On their silver harps and their violins
If you remember one thing, remember this
When the lights came up
There was nothing left I could give

Sometimes a vision lights up your mind
It's all you were given, like fragile fruit on a fragile vine

There's a world out there - I know there is
Where they'll play my songs on their silver harps and their violins
If you remember one thing, remember this
When the lights came up, there was nothing left I could give
