Story Behind The Song

Another in the series " Me playing Absolutely Everything "

Song Description

This song was an inspiration, it just happened. I got a new guitar from a great songwriter Simon Aldred (Cherry Ghost) and this is the second song I've written and recorded with this guitar...the song is about a guy I know more than any other

Lyrics

I watched the old man
as he wrung out his hands
And the town carried on
in the cold
And the wobbly wheels on his
trolley concealed
How he thought that the day
would unfold
Before he began cup of soup
in his hands
He supped all his troubles away
Then he took his guitar, put his hat on the ground and he
played.

It's hard to believe, what I
thought I could hear
As my mind wandered into a dream
Every note that he played
was like an angel serenade
Made it easy to hold the scene
Then I realized as I looked
in his eyes
He smiled like he's been here
before
Now he plays his guitar and
doesn't look back any more

chorus..
And he sang, I Thank The Universe
For things turning out this way
You gave me this life and this
magic guitar that I play

repeat..And I sing...I thank the Universe
For things turning out this way
You gave me this life and a magic guitar that I play....

Thanks Simon Aldred for this
magic guitar that I play.
