Lyrics

How many times
Have I played for no one?
How many rhymes
Have never been heard?
How long have I been alone
Just me, my guitar and some words?

How many songs
Will I write?
How many wrongs do I have to make right
Before I can make the public delight?
How many songs?

There's a tiny bug
Walking across this page.
Just a dot
On a gigantic stage.
How many wrongs do I have to make right?
How many songs
Till I'm right in your sight.

How many times?
How many rhymes?
Can you hear my tears?

Repeat from beginning of song to end.
