Strumming my pain with his fingers Singing my life with his words k**ing me softly with his song k**ing me softly, with his song Telling my whole life with his words k**ing me softly, with his song I heard he sang a good song I heard he had a style And so I came to see him to listen for awhile And there he was this young boy, a stranger to my eyes Strumming my pain with his fingers Singing my life with his words k**ing me softly with his song k**ing me softly, with his song Telling my whole life with his words k**ing me softly with his song I felt all flushed with fever Embarra**ed by the crowd I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud
I prayed that he would finish But he just kept right on Strumming my pain with his fingers Singing my life with his words k**ing me softly with his song k**ing me softly, with his song Telling my whole life with his words k**ing me softly with his song He sang as if he knew me In all my dark despair And then he looked right through me as if I wasn't there And he just kept on singing Singing clear and strong Strumming my pain with his fingers Singing my life with his words k**ing me softly with his song k**ing me softly, with his song Telling my life with his words k**ing me softly with his song
