Joe Pug - Silver Harps and Violins lyrics

They called you a dreamer, we were seventeen The years went by so fast, now they call you other things All of the answers that you're dreamin' of They say that it's natural, but a grown man learns how to give 'em up You had an apartment and a woman once You paid the electric and the gas and water every month She said that she loved you and she wore your clothes Now she's in Dallas with a stand-up guy and a four year old There's a world out there, I know there is Where they play my songs on their silver harps and their violins If you remember one thing, remember this When the lights came up there was nothing left I could give All of your cousins and your relatives And confident husbands, faithful model citizens You saw them at Christmas when they left and sang You're so very different, why the hell can't you just feel the same? There's a world out there, I know there is Where they play my songs on their silver harps and their violins If you remember one thing, remember this When the lights came up there was nothing left I could give Sometimes a vision lights up your mind It's all you were given, like fragile fruit on a fragile vine There's a world out there, I know there is Where they play my songs on their silver harps and their violins If you remember one thing, remember this When the lights came up there was nothing left I could give
