Song DescriptionThis song was an inspiration, it just happened. I got a new guitar from a great songwriter
Simon Aldred (Cherry Ghost) and
this is the second song I've written and recorded with this guitar...the song is about a guy I know more than any other
Story Behind the SongAnother in the series " Me playing Absolutely Everything "
Lyrics
I watched the old man
as he wrung out his hands
And the town carried on
in the cold
And the wobbly wheels on his
trolley concealed
How he thought that the day
would unfold
Before he began cup of soup
in his hands
He supped all his troubles away
Then he took his guitar, put his hat on the ground and he
played.
It's hard to believe, what I
thought I could hear
As my mind wandered into a dream
Every note that he played
was like an angel serenade
Made it easy to hold the scene
Then I realized as I looked
in his eyes
He smiled like he's been here
before
Now he plays his guitar and
doesn't look back any more
chorus..
And he sang, I Thank The Universe
For things turning out this way
You gave me this life and this
magic guitar that I play
repeat..And I sing...I thank the Universe
For things turning out this way
You gave me this life and a magic guitar that I play....
Thanks Simon Aldred for this
magic guitar that I play.
