Ani Difranco - HANDSOME MUSICIAN lyrics

rate me

He was a handsome musician

But he had an ugly scar

You could not see it on him

But you could hear it when he played guitar

Naked and nervous silence

Therefore conversation to abuse

Stood between us like a parent

Like a game we had to lose

He kept an eye on the door

And his back to the wall

His walk told of the time it takes for a man to fall

And I welcomed him into my closet

To meet the skeletons living there

In my twilight vacancy

I didn't care

We knew each other namelessly

As the rhythm came of age

He knew me like a blue note

And the lights went down on stage

He was a handsome musician

But he had an ugly scar

You could not see it on him

But you could hear it when he played guitar

I welcomed him into my closet

To meet the skeletons living there

In my twilight vacancy

I didn't care

He was a handsome musician

But he had an ugly scar

You could not see it on him

But you could hear it when he played guitar
