Silent Guitar

Lyrics: Stanley Péan / Music: Lucie Roy

for Lady I

How sad is this silent guitar
That stares at me with its cyclopean eye
For days I’ve watched it from afar
For days I’ve been thinking of you and I

How sad, how sad, how sad
How sad, how sad, how sad

How sad is this silent guitar
You played like a virtuoso gipsy
I swear though it might sound bizarre
I still hear those chords that made me tipsy

How sad, how sad, how sad
How sad, how sad, how sad

Should I pick it up, should I try
To play magic notes that make the sun rise
Should I tune it up, and just fly
To some musical land beyond the skies
The skies

How sad is this silent guitar
That’s been sitting there eversince you left
For days I’ve watched if from afar
I still see your fingers, so quick, so deft

I won’t pick it up, I won’t even try
To play magic notes that make the sun rise
I won’t I tune it up, I can’t fly
To that musical land beyond the skies
The skies

How sad, how sad, how sad
How sad, how sad, how sad
