Turn My Guitar Against The Wall

 

There’s waiting and there’s making time

My grey hand turns a hollow rhyme

Turn my guitar against the wall

 

You follow me down with your eyes

You leave the room I stand and cry

Turn my guitar against the wall

 

I’m breathing fire you drink the sea

You see the smoke you don’t see me

Turn my guitar against the wall

Turn my guitar against the wall

 

My songs are all sung to the past

Would that I could fall as fast

Turn my guitar against the wall

 

The lyric meant to draw your face

Only draws an empty space

Turn my guitar against the wall

 

I cannot crack my voice to sing

My music is a useless thing

Turn my guitar against the wall

Turn my guitar against the wall

Turn my guitar against the wall
