Steinar Albrigtsen - Broken Piano lyrics

rate me

Verse 1

There's an old grand piano, alone in the heart of the desert

Standing upright in the shine of the full moon above

They say it was left there a long time ago in the 60's

By a man who had written a song to the woman he loved

Verse 2

Now it's falling apart from the sand and the heat and the decades

Rattlesnakes live in the space by the rusty old wires

They say that the song was a hit, we would all recognize it

A beautiful melody only love could have inspired,

Chorus:

But love has a way of changing from sunlight to shadow

Love has a way of changing from gold into tin

And all that's left to recall what has been

Is a song they know from L.A. to Berlin

And a broken piano in the Arizona desert wind

Verse 3

There are those who have camped at the site of that strong wooden statue

Who says that it plays when the first morning sunray breaks through

They gaze at that sad instrument with the cactus beside it

A shrine or a tombstone depending on your point of wiew,

Repeat chorus

All that's left to recall what has been

Is a song they know from L.A. to Berlin

And a broken piano in the Arizona desert wind

A broken piano in the Arizona desert wind
