Story Behind The Song

So many people in life play music,or sing music.......though they don't make it an occupation.They don't need an audience....or a stage.They don't need to play or sing flawlessly.....they just have the music within,and need to release it.......this song is for those people.The ones who play music for themselves.

Song Description

Folk ballad, of a balladeer who asks his guitar to help him play another song while he tells a story to go along with the music.A song about the spiritual and mental connection between a musician and his music.Many times, music is only played for one persons ear........the player himself.All it takes for this balladeer,is a Colorado summer night and his guitar.

Lyrics

Play for me guitar
I'll balladeer a story to the stars
We'll use the sounds of this day ending, to harmonize
The moon, rising all the while
When you look close, you'll see the old man smile
On this gorgeous Colorado summer night

I'll cradle you in my arms and then
Your're the paper, and I'm the pen
Together you play I'll sing the songs

We'll tell a tale of courage, and faith that wouldn't fail
Or of long lost love through time and distance still prevails
Or perhaps a pretty poem of the ocean or the sea
Or maybe just a simple prayer to find someone in need

You always play just like I feel
You possess an awesome power that can heal
And lighten a weary burdened heart
And when I hear your harmonizing strings
I think of all the mended broken wings
You have nurtured and released again to fly

With your tales of courage and faith that wouldn't fail
Or of long lost love through time and distance still prevails
Or perhaps a pretty poem of the ocean or the sea
Or maybe just a simple prayer to find someone in need

So if tonight you'll be kind enough to play
We need no audience, podium, or stage
Just the beautiful, star filled sky
On a gorgeous, Colorado summer night
This beautiful Colorado summer night
