Harmonic Chords

Harmonic Chords

 

I started playing the dulcimer again

tightening needed for we were both out of tune

like wounded high school lovers at the prom

looking for the one song to call our own

 

tightening needed for we were both out of tune

we pass each other in punishing silence

looking for the one song to call our own

music lingers deep in a memory

 

we pass each other in punishing silence

deaf to the tenderness we knew

music lingers deep in a memory

laughter together at a naked breakfast

 

deaf to the tenderness we knew

forgotten our moves found new partners

laughter together at a naked breakfast

seems the dream of a different life

 

forgotten our moves found new partners

brushed off the dust of days gone by

seems the dream of a different life

I started playing my dulcimer again
