Ani Difranco - Handsome Musician lyrics

He was a handsome musician But he had an ugly scar You could not see it on him But you could hear it when he played guitar Naked and nervous silence Therefore conversation to abuse Stood between us like a parent Like a game we had to lose He kept an eye on the door And his back to the wall His walk told of the time it takes for a man to fall And i welcomed him into my closet To meet the skeletons living there In my twilight vacancy I didn't care We knew each other namelessly As the rhythm came of age He knew me like a blue note And the lights went down on stage He was a handsome musician But he had an ugly scar You could not see it on him But you could hear it when he played guitar I welcomed him into my closet To meet the skeletons living there In my twilight vacancy I didn't care He was a handsome musician But he had an ugly scar You could not see it on him But you could hear it when he played guitar
