Me and My Guitar Player

My friend plays guitar, he has no name

He just appears like the stars with no shame

He plays out in the wood and on the hills

He could be right here on your stage,

So quiet and still, so quiet and still

                                            He just plays straight ahead, simple and clear

                                                        He gets in trouble if he tries to do things he can't hear

I've seen him so free --from afar,

Sitting on the edge of the world strumming his guitar

Ocean waves down below that crash on the rocks

He could be playing the Shepherd's song

To guide the flock to quieten the flock

                                           And what you see may not tell the whole story

                                                  Of what's going down, in the sound for you and me

Everyday is the last of this life

Tomorrow's just a dream with no strife

Guitar man gets glad when there's nothing

He's called a man gone mad, listening, just listening

                                                And there's a roar from within and a roar without

                                                    It's a battle for just one glimpse of what it's all about

He's waited for so long, he just stares

Still looking for that lonesome sound, deep in his ear

He don't talk and he don't see, a mound of clay

He's old and on the street

For love and pay, for love and pay

                               Is it gold, or is it care that lifts his soul

                                                Just a space on this dirty ground so free and bold
