Willie Nelson Lyrics
"Guitar in the Corner"

There's a guitar in the corner
That used to have a song,
I would hold it while it played me,
and I would sing along.

There was a happy song about her
Loving me like I loved her,
But the strings no longer ring
and things are not the way they were.

Now when I need a song
My mind goes back where I belong,
When I'm not there and the future is not clear
and the past is just a smoke ring in the air.

and That guitar in the corner
Just waits there by the wall,
Standing guard and thinking
a new song might come to call
and free us from this minor key
That we both been living in,
And we'll pick up where we left off
And play some songs again.

Now when I need a song
My mind goes back where I belong,
I'm not there and the future is not clear
And the past is just a smoke ring in the air.

and That guitar in the corner
Just waits there by the wall,
Standing guard and thinking
a new song might come to call
and free us from this minor key
That we've both been living in,
And we'll pick up where we left off,
And play some songs again.

There's a guitar in the corner
That used to have our songs,
I would hold it while it played me
And I would sing along.
