GUITAR I

One cold damp evening
The world stood still
I watched as I held my breath
A silhouette I thought I knew
Came through
And someone spoke to me
Whispered in my ear
This fantasy’s for you
Fantasies are “in” this year

GUITAR I

My whole life flashed before my eyes
I thought
What they say is true
I shed my skin and my disguise
And cold, numb and naked
I emerged from my cocoon
While a half remembered tune
Played softly in my head

I realise a miracle is due
I dedicate this melody to you

No wonder I feel like I’m floating on air
No wonder I feel like I’m floating on air

It’s like you fail to make the connection
You know how vital it is

Well you reach the point where you know it’s
only your second skin
It’s only your second skin
