You’re My Guitar

You’re my guitar, I strum your strings
And do the things to make you sing so sweet
You’re my guitar, you give me love
You only want from me what I can give

And though the fire burns bright tonight
You find a way to make the light not frighten me
And yes, I question, but stranger still
You find a stillness that connects me to my will –
You’re my guitar

Tonight we made an invitation
For eternity to come a while
And in the heat of the summer city
I hear a melody so pretty now

And come the dawn, I’ll know my place
Reflect my face and let it fall on my guitar
But here we are, we think we don’t
Know how to reach a hand to open up the door –
You’re my guitar

And every second that I’m losing sleep
I’m steeped in the sublime
Loving in and out of time
Oh trembling, resembling
Start to recognise, start to shut my eyes
And let the dark define the shapes and lines
And lift the drapes on who you are
You’re my guitar…

You’re my guitar, I strum your strings
And do the things to make you sing so sweet
You’re my guitar, you give me love
You only want from me what I can give

And though the fire burns bright tonight
You find a way to make the light not give me a fright
And though I question, better still –
You find the stillness that connects me to my will
You’re my guitar
You’re my guitar
