Broken Violins

Story Behind The Song

I was in a music store in Texas and the owner had a repair bench in the back. There were bins of instruments and parts. One was labeled "Broken violins". I thought it was a good song title but I didn't know at the time what it would be about.

Lyrics

I see by your look it's broken
There's no need for words to be spoken
'Cus I'm lonesome too
Broken like you
But together we'll make it through

(Chorus)
So we don't have the stars
And who needs the moon
Just two lonely hearts
A touch out of tune
Don't be afraid
Let the music begin
We're just a couple of broken violins

We've both known the sound of a heartbreak
And danced to the music that love makes
We fell out of time
Ran out of rhyme
But this dance is just your and mine.

(Chorus)
So we don't have the stars
And who needs the moon
Just two lonely hearts
A touch out of tune
Don't be afraid
Let the music begin
We're just a couple of broken violins

Instrumental break...

Don't be afraid
Let the music begin
We're just a couple of broken violins
We're just a couple of broken violins
