There' s a guitar in the corner
That u sed to have a song
I would hold it while it played me
And I would sing a long
It was a happy song about a girl
Loving m e like I loved h er
But the strings no longer r ing
And t hings are not the way they w ere
N ow when I need a song
My mind goes b ack where I belong
When I'm n ot there and the future is not clear
And the past is just a smoke ring in the a ir
And that g uitar in the corner
Just w aits there by the wall
Standing guard and thinking
A new song might come to c all
And free us from this minor key
That w e both been living i n
And we'll pick up where we left o ff
And p lay some songs a gain
T here's a guitar in the corner
That u sed to have a song
I would hold it while it played me
And I would sing a long
