Joe Dassin - The guitar don't lie lyrics
Your rating:
He sits all alone, playing his guitar Out in the back of a little cafe And no one seems to hear, so he closes his eyes And just lets the music take him away Singing songs of love, songs of broken heart And he's worn out his love and his last pair of jeans But you keep going on, when you're leaving on dreams And you feel it inside and the guitar don't lie (The guitar don't lie) There's a lady he knows who often comes by She's a nice little girl and she's into the blues The request is the same song every night She says it reminds her of someone she knew A trace of her perfume floats across the room Once they were close and they shared all their dreams But now all he feels is a physical thing They grew slowly apart and the guitar don't lie (The guitar don't lie) Some nights it gets cold and it makes him aware The time's moving on and it's slipping away And if you look closer his dark curly hair Under the lights there are traces of gray He knows what it's all about feeling down and out 'Cause he's been there before and he's seen it all And he learned to survive with your back to the wall It's a crazy old life, and the guitar don't lie The guitar don't lie (The guitar don't lie) (The guitar don't lie) (The guitar don't lie...)
