about

This is one of my oldest songs, it's a classic among people that actually listen to my stuff (I don't know why) It was inspired by a cartoon.

lyrics

Hang your head,
And draw that bow,
And sigh a tune,
As sweet as the moon.

Past loves burn a hole in your head,
You sometimes wonder why you aren't actually dead,
But you press on, cross around your neck,
Playing your music as the pain sheds.

Wading through the waning night without a clue,
As to where or why or what to do,
Your but a seed planted in the ground,
So, my God,
cry some rain from the darkening clouds.

May praise reach His ears.

Mahogany box drawn to his neck in pride (OH!)
There's no need to run, there's no need to hide,
So lift your head, play that tune, draw that bow across,
Give praise to the One that gave you your song.
